Fetchmail polls different pop3 servers to download mail. It can route
mail to diff users - that's a basic filter.
> Say I receive a mail for rajesh<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and

Procmail will do this. Filter on santosh and rajesh in the from
field. This is NOT foolproof as junta might mail just
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and you'd not have a clue without the wrapper
(Rajesh or Santosh).
Best - create two accts at a forwarding mail service like bigfoot / iname
/ coolmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] and use procmail to
much greater effect :)
