Aarrgghhhh!!
You cannot use $local_part in a system filter. Why not? Because a system
filter is run _once_ per message. A message may have many recipients.
Therefore, $local_part cannot be set in a system filter because there
isn't a unique value it can be set to.
As another poster says, you need to use a director or router to do this,
and if you are doing that, you might as well just route it directly
rather than mess with a filter.
