Hi,
I have a problem with BCC emails from senders, which seem to end up in the
admin mailbox and are not correctly routed to the individuals.

I would really appreciate some help.
The problem is that there is no consistent way that mail servers mark these
bcc recipients in the mail headers. However, there are a number of ways that
are commonly used, an dfetchmail can cope with many of them - though it
needs tuning on a server by server basis.
Read up on multidrop, and pay particular attention to the examples in the
FAQ. If you still have problems, look at the headers in one of the messages
that is being incorrectly delivered. If the correct bcc recipient is
mentioned anywhere in there (perhaps even in one of the Recieved: lines) you
should be able to get fetchmail to work correctly with it. If the bcc
recipient isn't mentioned, you're stuck; get a new upstream mail server that
understands these problems! If you do have the recipient somewhere in the
headers, post an example of the headers if you need help in figuring out the
correct settings.
