I think you mean collecting all email addresses and connecting them (manually) to the correct mailbox in the config of Postfix (or equiv, I have no idea what is used at my hosting provider)? That sounds like a doable one-time action if all new addresses use proper sub-addressing.
I didn’t realize you did not have control of your Mailserver.
Still, the sooner you get off the method you are using the better off everyone is going to be, I wouldn’t count on a mail server not noticing your multiple forwarding to different addresses and putting a stop to it, as it is resource intensive.
If you have access to create new email addresses you also probably have access to create aliases as well.
Outside address ALIASED TO INSIDE ADDRESS
amazonjohn@example.com => john+amazon@example.com roll20john@example.com => john+roll20@example.com appljohn@example.com => john+apple@example.com applenotjohn@example.com => notjohn+apple@example.com Etc etc
This removes the need to sieve scripts that try to parse the from.
