I'd imagine it'd be a touch easier to just use procmail, given that most
people still run sendmail [and all three main Linux distributions still
supply it as the default]  ;)

Something like the following in .procmailrc would probably do:

:0
* ^(To|Cc).*(mum@fake.isp)
$HOME/mum

:0
* ^(To|Cc).*(dad@fake.isp)
$HOME/dad

[etc]
