Wendy,

The usual solution to this is to run a MTA locally and configure fetchmail 
to pass the messages onto it - you'd need a configuration something like:

poll pop3.ispname.net user username pass password localdomain 
whatever.yourdomain.is to * here.

This will use the envelope data in the messages to sort them.

Fetchmail does support several methods of sorting messages depending upon 
the data you have. Check the headers of a typical message to see where you 
can separate out the intended recipient data.
