If by "filter rules" you are talking about the system filter, you should
note that this is run at the start of delivery, not during message
reception.
If the action you want is
accept message, write to disk
run special program
do delivery
then you can either run the program from a system filter (run once per
message per delivery attempt), or you could probably do something with a
router and a condition (run once per recipient per delivery attempt). In
both cases, you could limit it to the first delivery attempt.
But it depends on what you mean by "username". If you are talking about
the recipient of a message, note that a single message may have more
than one recipient.
