Hi... I am trying to retrive mails using fetchmail and then
deleiver it
locally using sendmail. I found that fetchmail adds the
following header in
every messages that it retrives from the pop server.

Received: from localhost (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1])
        by localhost.localdomain (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP
id i5QIldIr030563
        for <root(_at_)localhost>; Sun, 27 Jun 2004 00:32:39 +0545

Actually, I think you'll find that that's sendmail, not fetchmail, that
adds that header.
Sorry I did a mistake :(

This is the one added by 
Received: from pop2.wlink.com.np [202.79.32.43]
        by localhost with POP3 (fetchmail-5.9.0)
        for root(_at_)localhost (single-drop); Sun, 27 Jun 2004 02:53:24 +0545 
(NPT)



I am running fetchmail as root user so it has modified the
recepient to
root(_at_)localhost(_dot_) Isn't there any way so that fetchmail retains
the original
recepient ? I tried  -n and --invisible options but they didn't help.

Sorry, the crystal ball seems to be broken...

Version of fetchmail?
fetchmail: 5.9.0
Contents of fetchmailrc?
I am not using the fetchmailrc yet

Output from a mail received with "fetchmail -v -v"?

[root(_at_)localhost root]# fetchmail  -u bikrant pop.wlink.com.np -p pop3 -v -v
