This is nearly what I'm looking to do.  What I really want to do, is..

_Anything_ that comes to linux at bizniche.com goes in one folder, doesn't
matter if it was sent to the address directly, or to a list like kclug.

_Anything_ that comes to matt at bizniche.com goes in another folder, no
matter where it comes from.  

etc.

I'm not so interested in filtering based on content yet...just by the
account it was sent to.

Am I way off?  Are things just not done this way?
