Currently the user can't configure an external mail address where remote server username is a valid mail address.

VERIFIED

The test case is passed, but I've noticed that in /home/fetchmail/fetchmailrc the mapping between remote and local user is based on the local username, thus does not always work

poll nethservice.nethesis.it proto imap:
 user "davidep2" with pass "XXX" is "dave@vboxnet0.tld" here smtphost 127.0.0.100 keep ssl

If pseudonym does not exist an error occurs. In /var/log/fetchmail.log: 

fetchmail: awakened by User defined signal 1
fetchmail: 1 message for davidep2 at nethservice.nethesis.it.
fetchmail: reading message davidep2@nethservice.nethesis.it:1 of 1 (1651 header octets) (log message incomplete)
fetchmail: SMTP error: 550 5.1.1 <dave@vboxnet0.tld>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table
fetchmail: can't even send to fetchmail!
fetchmail:  not flushed

Current fetchmail DB:

# db fetchmail show
davide.test@nethesis.it=fetchmail
    account=dave
    active=YES
    nokeep=NO
    password=XXX
    popserver=xyz.nethesis.it
    proto=imap
    ssl=YES
    username=davidep2
