I've got a script which you can probably adapt easily for these purposes.
A fine example of a script with more documentation than code.

# Quick hack for sorting incoming mail.
#
# By Chris Garrigues 27-Feb-98
#
# Put this in your .qmail file:
#
# |sortonsender myname-sorted
#
# and mail from various sources will be dropped in different inboxes depending
# on where the mail came from. This mail can be caught at the appropriate
# level, for example, with the following files:
#
# .qmail-sorted-default
# .qmail-sorted-edu-uic-default
# .qmail-sorted-edu-uic-math-koobera-djb-default
# .qmail-sorted-edu-uic-math-koobera-djb-qmail
# .qmail-sorted-edu-uic-math-koobera-djb-ezmlm
#
# Mail from the qmail list would by handled by the 4th file, from the ezmlm
# list into the 5th file, from Dan into the 3rd file, anyone else at UIC into
# the 2nd file, and the rest of us into the first file.
#
$prefix = $ARGV[0];
$sender = $ENV{SENDER};
$sendto = join('-', $prefix, reverse(split(/[@.]/, $sender))) . "\@$ENV{HOST}";
print STDERR "Forwarding mail from $sender to $sendto\n";
exec('forward', $sendto);
