Many thanks for the reply.

I have tried again and with the fetchmailrc below multidrop seems to be 
working in general. Unfortunately mail from the list just goes to the 
user fetchmail with the warning
X-Fetchmail-Warning: recipient address gloucs@mailman.lug.org.uk didn't 
match any local name
added.

Running in daemon mode /etc/fetchmailrc is:-

set no bouncemail
defaults:
   antispam -1
   batchlimit 100

poll pop.freeserve.co.uk proto pop3 aka pop.pol.net.uk:
   localdomains painswik.freeserve.co.uk Envelope 'Envelope-to'
   user painswik.freeserve.co.uk with password ******* is * here keep;

User names at the local domain get delivered fine, but cannot figure out 
how to get the list items deliverd to a user. Any ideas would help.
Cheers

Roland
