Thanks to all and Eddie is right. There is only one user with one password at the ISP
end; and this user may have as many email addresses as possible. So what I have done
is created email addresses with the names of users on my local network. The whole
picture looks like this:
My username at the ISP: USERATISP and the password is ISPPASSWORD.
E-mail addresses : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Please note that localuser1,2,3 do not exist on the ISP's system and all mail get
dropped in to one mailbox at the ISP end. What would a typical fetchmailrc in
multi-drop mode look like?.

Uhm, if I understand the question properly, then what he wants to do is
distribute mail locally to individual users who may all get dropped into the
same mailbox at the ISP side?
If so, running fetchmail in multi-drop mode is what we use here, and may be
all he need.
Otherwise, I've misunderstood the question, you are correct and the above is
the only way to do it.
