It can. Other have done such things in several ways, and a search of the
archives should find some examples.

But you may not need to. You mentioned using IMAP.

Member of 'many' lists, I simply use filters in the MUA to move or copy
incoming from each of many mailings lists to a folder or 'tree' of
folders for the list(s).

Any that might be needed when 'roaming' are server-side folders -
otherwise 'Local'.

With just one address, the MUA filter triggers, using this list as an
example, on:

'return path' contains 'exim-users'

= No need for a specialized addresses.

= No need to rewrite the 'From:'
