You can use procmail to forward mail to a second mailbox based on the "To" field. Here's a good tutorial to get you started: http://userpages.umbc.edu/~ian/procmail.html here's another: http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~elflord/unix/procmail.html And finally, here's the procmail doc project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pm-doc Hope you find this useful.
