yes.
create a .procmailrc file in the home directory of the user who gets the mail.
here is mine:
begin************************************************
#set to yes when debugging
VERBOSE=yes
# Remove ## when debugging; set to no if you want minimal logging
##LOGABBSTRACT=all
# Replace $HOME/Msgs with your message directory
# Mutt and elm use $HOME/Mail
# Pine uses $HOME/mail
# Netscape Messenger uses $HOME/nsmail
# Some news clients, such as slrn & nn, use $HOME/News
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail # Make sure this directory exists !
# Directory for storing procmail-related files
PMDIR=$HOME/Procmail
# Put ## before LOGFILE if you want no logging (not recommended)
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
##INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/testing.rc
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/lists.rc
***************************************************************************end
You should be able to change the INCLUDERC = to something like users.rc
If you follow the format of placing the rc files in ~/Procmail then create
~/Procmail/users.rc
and place in it an entry for each user that should look something like this:
:0
* ^TO_()[EMAIL PROTECTED]\>
{
FORWARDTO = "$FORWARDTO [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
}
I have never done this: I use procmail in a very limited fashion to sort my
mail into local boxes but this or some variant should work.
Check out www.procmail.org for a bunch of good resources. A search on the
mailhelp list at www.moongroup.com would probably be beneficial as well.
Hope this gets you started.
