The problem is, an e-mail message header doesn't say who it is to. That is
part of the SMTP protocol. Hopefully the mail server at somewhere.com adds
a "Received:" header line, to say who the mail was actually sent to. You
_cannot_ rely on the "To:" header.

For implemtatiopn details, RTFM  /usr/doc/fetchmail*/* for "multidrop".
