fetchmail
And the first thing you are going to check is whether it can be done
reliably at all and tell your customer if is not possible.
Requirements:
- ISP saves the Envelope-To information in some special header
(Envelope-To, Delivered-To) upon delivering to the POP3 mailbox.
- if you send mail to a@???,b@???, there'll be two
mails in the POP-box, one for each recipient.
If these requirements are not fullfilled you _will_ have problems with
mail that has not got the recipient in to or cc, i.e. for example
mailing lists or Bcc'd mail.
