email has changed, so I need to be able to re-reoute [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think the solution is to use maildrop with a filter but it looks like a
pretty steep learning curve on the maildrop filter scripting language.

Has any one run into a similar situation?

I thouht that it would be as simple as doing a .mailfilter that looked
like this:

if ( /^To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/)
{
        to "/home/jsmith/Maildir"
}

It's a popular fairy tale that the message's sender and recipient are completely defined in the headers, such as From:, To:, or Cc:.

It would be a simple matter for me to send you a message with the To: header
set to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Furthermore, most of the spam in your
mailbox does not have your address explicitly listed as a recipient either.
So since it is painfully obvious that an arbitrary's message's recipient
address may not be necessarily found in its header, why exactly do you
belive that you can accomplish your goal of identifying the recipient, and
redirecting the message, by screwing around with its headers?

No, all you need to do is to define your aliases.  See the makealiases man
page as a starting point.
