Default Help required for using FetchmailMailRetrieval for multiple users

I want to use my ISP email server to receive all emails into 1 single account and use Fetchmail to retrieve the emails and redistribute to individual Zimbra email accounts.

I have read the excellence tutorial on using Fetchmail at FetchmailMailRetrieval < Webmin < TWiki. Unfortunately it only mentioned about this "most useful feature" (retrieve from 1 account for multiple local users) but failed to explain how to do it. It only said this:

"Even though its ability to extract mail for multiple users from a single mailbox is one of Fetchmail's most useful features, it is not 100% reliable. There is no way that the program can accurately determine what address an email was sent to in all cases. Normally, the To: or Cc: header will contain the destination address, but for messages received from mailing lists this is not the case - instead, the To: header contains the list's address. There are other mail headers that Fetchmail attempts to check to find the real destination address of a message, but they are not always available."

When I check server, it shows this error message:

fetchmail: SMTP< 504 5.5.2 : Recipient address rejected: need fully-qualified address

So how do I add multiple users to the Local user(s) field? Do I separate multiple email addresses with space or , or ;? What else is required?

please help, Thanks.

Boon Hong.
