Very true, unless you're using one email address for everyone, or to
filter out.  I know one person that uses:

	family+name1 at email.addr
	family+name2 at email.addr
	family+name3 at email.addr
	 ... etc

Which sends mail to family at email.addr, and the +xxx part of it is
used to filter who's message it is, and fetchmail sends it to one
user where that is filtered using (I think, but don't recall for
sure) procmail to process and redirect it appropriately.
