to support multi-drop mailboxes is that local delivery addresses will
be appended to the end of the command in the obvious way.
+Actually, using an MDA is now almost always the wrong thing; the MDA
+facility has been retained only for people who can't or won't run a
+sendmail-like SMTP listener on port 25. The default, SMTP forwarding
+to port 25, is better for at least two major reasons. One: it feeds
+retrieved POP and IMAP mail into your system's normal delivery path
+along with local mail and normal Internet mail. Two: because the port
+25 listener returns a positive acknowledge, fetchmail can be sure
+you're not going to lose mail to a disk-full or some other
