Why can't you sort on the "To" headers? E.g.:
(setq nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy)
(setq nnmail-split-fancy
'(| ("to" "your-e-mail-address@yahoo" "mail.yahoo")
("to" "your-e-mail-address@lycos" "mail.lycos")))
That won't snare e-mail not addressed to you, or if it has a
suppressed recipient list; I suppose you could substitute some kind
of regexp for your e-mail address, or let them go to mail.misc. Or I
suppose you could do some sort of matching on the "Received by"
header, which ought to be specific to the ISP.
