I fully understand this.  But I'm not willing to accept an even worse
disruption of e-mail communication by people that make it impossible for
me to reply to their e-mails without prior detective work.

Mgetty cannot yet handle different RING counts on different virtual RINGs
directly.

But you can achieve your goal with the "cnd-program" feature of mgetty:
have mgetty call an external program that will get the information about
the dist-ring number, the caller ID (if available), etc.pp., and this
program will return 0 or 1, meaning "yes, take the call" and "no, ignore
it".  See the mgetty docs (http://alpha.greenie.net/mgetty/) for more
informations about this.
