For distributing mails locally see /etc/virtusertable (or
/etc/mail/virtusertable)
That is basically of the format
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or can be
[EMAIL PROTECTED])
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
...
...
@domain.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] => Catchall alias to dump all
others in the pop mailbox
Try using this as well - see if it helps you out.
Set verbose on in your .procmailrc and post the output.
Also read the Procmail FAQ by Era Eriksson at http://www.iki.fi/era/procmail
(caution: HUGE size, 100 + kb text download). That has more than enough
stuff to clear any and every procmail doubt you have.
