Hello,

I hope this is still a valid address; my versions of fetchmail is
probably far from the most current.

My question is this:  Does fetchmail (this or a more recent
version) allow one to divert incoming e-mail according to the
sender?

Try procmail or other filtering program.

The filter for this list using procmail is:

:0:
* ^X-BeenThere:(_dot_)*fetchmail-friends(_at_)lists(_dot_)ccil(_dot_)org
linux/fetchmail

For example:  Say I belong to a mailing list.  Suppose that I
create a fake login for myself (e.g. crsx instead of my normal
crs).  Is there any way that e-mail could be directed to crsx
instead of crs so that my normal mailbox only receives my normal
e-mail and that of crsx receives that from the mailing list?
