Hi Matt: I can figure by your email address that you are working from gmail. So, the easiest way to get the mail to behave is to create filters in googlemail that basically tell Gmail to put messages slated to go "to" somewhere, for example the macvisionaries, in a folder, (which Google calls a label.) So, you create a filter and the label you want (in my example, you'd say to send all messages that have the words ""to Macvisionaries"" in the Macvisionaries folder. Then you go to mailboxes in your mail program and set up a mailbox with that name. Your server should then separate those macvisionaries messages out and send them to the mailbox you've created. Hopefully I haven't confused you too much with this explanation. If I can be of further help, drop me a note off list, though you can probably tell, I'm not an expert.:) It took a few tries for me to get this to work.
You could also do something similar with mail rules. But, I haven't had that work as easily for me.
