It's fairly easy with Postfix as well Alex, but you do need introduce a
separate postfix instance that only accept email and split/recipient (and
do RBLs and whatever you do at reception time), and then passes everything
on to a second, MailScanner-configured, instance.

Hah, I found the old t*rd of a page here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20140627065723/http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=documentation:configuration:mta:postfix:how_to:split_mails_per_recipient
It details (in a rather more confusing manner than it really is) how to
split emails/recipient ... Enjoy the blast from the past:-)

Cheers!
