The problem is that foranyaddress stops when it finds a matching
address. The code in 9817 solves the problem "If any of these addresses
is in the list, send a copy to xxxx". What you are trying to achieve is
"For *every* address that is in the list, send a copy to yyyy, where
yyyy depends on the address."

In other words, you are trying to do per-address processing. The best
way to do this is not to use a filter file, but to use a director with
the "unseen" option set.
