fetchmail question

[Bikrant Neupane]

Sorry.. I mentioned the wrong header :(
Indeed the hearder was added by sendmail.

This is the one added by fetchmail

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 00:32:39 +0545 
(NPT)

and this one is the full header

You can see that mail is to be delivered to bikrant at wlink.com.np but when it 
is fetched by fetchmail it is changed to root at localhost.
