ETRN is just a way of telling an MTA to deliver queued mail to your domain 
via SMTP *now*.  It's much different from the usual protocols that 
fetchmail handles, since fetchmail never actually touches the mail 
handled via ETRN.

Therefore, in this case it seems to me that fetchmail is not changing the 
recipient address, and another piece of the system is.

Possibly the best way to handle it would be to make sure the envelope 
sender and receiver are saved in headers by the first MTA when the mail 
comes in, then at the other end run the mail through a custom filter that 
gets that information back.
