Yes it was just a matter of pointing in a workable direction.
In fact I use formail only for utility mailboxes (those that collect
mail from programs).
Probably the best bet is to use fetchmail, which has a very rich set
of capabilities. Knowing the addresses of the domain or which you
have collect mail for, you can set a rule in a fetchmailrc that takes
the messages via pop3 from your localhost and resend them to the
proper address. I did that ages ago, so I'm pretty sure that fetchmail
can set rules based on the Delivered-To header, though I don't remember
the details. You may wish to dig in the fetchmail manual.

Cheers,

luciano.
