I used to do this - but always found it highly irritating. 

If you are lucky then your email provider added a header to your email
with the real destination address(es).

Otherwise your only chance is to filter on "To and CC Headers" - and this
will not work for mailing lists and other "odd" emails.

Fon nmh style mail handling:

RCVSTORE=/path/to/rcvstore

:0
* ^To:.*my_emailaddress_1
|$RCVSTORE +myinbox_1

:0
* ^Cc:.*my_emailaddress_1
|$RCVSTORE +myinbox_1

... other boxes ..... 

:0
|$RCVSTORE +spam

Really, really ugly - and you have to scan the spam folder from time to time
to make sure that the "odd" email did not accidently make it to the spam 
folder.

I would really recommend getting rid of the catch all ... there are plenty of
email only providers allowing you multiple boxes for multiple domains with 
reasonable prices.
