Yes, you need to have the MTA figure out everything regarding addressing. 
GNATS only takes over from the point where mail is delivered to an address 
on the system. It does not parse the To: address or attempt any other magic 
to figure out which database the message should go into, so you need a 
separate address for each database.

Good point. I will look into fixing that.
