Fetchmail is not recognizing mail.mi.verio.com as a DNS alias of your
mailserver.  Use `aka' to work around this, or repair your DNS 
configuration to actually fix it.

If you didn't understand the above advice, give up now.  Multidrop mode
is intrinsically flaky, and this is not anything fetchmail can fix.
