Thanks.

I've done the qmail equivalent, but it means I'm throwing away the qmail
benefits of an extended address. Normally qmail will detect things sent
to, say, rich-debian-users and put them in my debian-users mailbox.
Unfortunately fetchmail doesn't follow this and just substitutes the
plain user "rich" for the "%s", and all my stuff is pointed into one
mailbox.

So I use a script to sort it all out, which must be slower.
