This may be unavoidable - 'bcc' information is not kept in a message once it is placed into a POP3 mailbox, so fetchmail / multidrop has no way to know who was originally bcc'd...

SJ,

When an ISPs mail server delivers a BCC message to your POP mailbox it strips off all the address information, This is normally then replaced with one of the following:-
Delivered-To:
X-Envelope-To:
X-SMTP-To:
X-RCPT:
X-RCPT-to:
or something similar.

What you need to do is examine one of your message headers to see what the address information has been replaced with. My own ISP replaces the BCC address information with Envelope-To
 
Then from the SME server manager panel select Mail - Change e-mail reception settings
Select sort method (for multi-drop) enter Specify below
Select sort header (for multi-drop) enter Envelope-To (or whatever your own ISP uses)
mail will then be delivered to the correct recipient.

Hope this helps,

PB

SJ,

You must use Envelope-to exactly as per what you found in the message header.
