One POP3 account many users troble configuring

I am trying to collect all the mail from a single pop3 account using
fetchmail and then distribute it to the internal users using sendmail. So
far I have failed. All the mail is recieved by user XXXX (from example).
The pop account has two domain and many users as follows:

Examples (not the real addresses):
mail [at] XXXX.dircon.co.uk (only used address on domain)

john [at] mydomain.co.uk
dave [at] mydomain.co.uk

How can I make it work?

Files used:
Here is the .fetchmailrc:
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------
#Fetchmail script created by Me
server popmail.dircon.co.uk protocol pop3 username XXXX password nooneknows

#Makes invisible to sendmail
set invisible
#stops bouncing back
set no bouncemail

#log file "tail -40 /var/lof/fetchmail" to view
set logfile /var/log/fetchmail
------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------

I vaguely remember in the file before my hard disk died having a domains
line in here somewhere.

Is the problem here leaving the MASQUERADE_DOMAIN lines commented out?
This server is intended only for incoming email and does not use SSL.
The Aliases file works as I logged into the server and sent an email to
myself via TELNET.

Please help!

You can't. When receiving mail from a POP3 mailbox, the SMTP
envelope is missing, so you won't be able to determine the
correct local user. Use something else that preserves the message
envelope, i.e. UUCP, ETRN, ATRN, ..

Before the server that is collecting the mail died it was able to determine
the localusers when connecting by POP3.
The trouble is the hardisk caught on fire and so the files are not
recoverable.
