Hello Eoin,

Remeber that the handling of the recipient part, the FromOrTo thing in this
case, only looks at the first recipient in multi-recipient mails. You need
configure your mta (incoming, in case you use a multi-mta setup... For
Postfix, the split will happen too late, in a single instance setup, so you
need find/use my very old "two-instance-split-per/recipient" wiki
article... if at all possible... or DIY;-)) to split incoming
e-mails/recipient.

Cheers!
