If your original question was "how to duplicate messages for two
accounts", fetchmail doesn't directly support that, since it's built
around the idea of a local fully-fledged mail server that can do alias
expansion.

For anything that is remotely sendmail compatible (i. e. most mailers
except qmail), writing something like this line into /etc/aliases or
/etc/mail/aliases (check your manuals, details differ!) would work after
running "sendmail -bi" or whatever else your system requires to rebuild
the alias database:

locallist: localuser1 localuser2

Alternatively, but not recommended, you can trick it into doing that by
using an program that can deliver to multiple recipients at the same
time, for instance:

mda "/usr/sbin/sendmail -i -f %F -- localuser1 localuser2"

Syntax is crucial for the MDA option, do NOT add single quotes here, and
don't forget the -i.

Note that most filtering MDAs do not support multiple recipients on the
command line, so you'd need to spell this out in the configuration file.
