This will never work; consider cc'd mail, or bcc'd mail (like mailing list
messages).  To work with an external MDA that needs the envelope recipient
address, you are going to need to configure getmail to look only at a header
field that records the envelope recipient address.

Are you sure that's what it looked like?  Did this get rewrapped by your MUA?
That looks like two different header fields rewrapped onto one line.

So the envelope recipient address was the address in To: (this time), but that
isn't recorded anywhere by the MTA on the POP3 server... you're out of luck.
You're going to have to get the POP3 server admin to change their
configuration to record the envelope recipient address, as they're running
sendmail in its default mode, which doesn't do so.

This is an unrelated problem, and an interesting one.  I'll send you a new
version in private mail; please report back with whether this fixes the above
exception or not so I can release a new version.
