Upon further consultation of the main manual:

Add this as the first director:

forward_all:
driver = smartuser
domains = <domain>
new_address = <user name>
qualify_preserve_domain = true
rewrite = false

rewrite = false is the key that stops any of the to/from headers being
changed when the mail is redirected to a different user.

I still have to figure out the automatic sorting into separate
directories. Exim filtering might be appropriate. If not I will look at
using procmail.

I would like to thank Philip Hazel for the great program and
documentation.
