Did you look at the envelope option in the man page?

As Matthias said, you may want to read the fine manual, the section on
"Use and Abuse of Multidrop" details what you need to do.

1) Your .fetchmailrc
2) The FULL headers of a sample email (mask email addresses or account
names if you want, but leave all the lines in)
