There are two kinds of recipes in procmail: delivering recipes and non-delivering recipes. When a delivering recipe matches and is executed, procmail exits. What you want to do is to tell procmail to deliver a copy and then keep looking for other matches. You use the "c" modifier for this. Try: :0 c * ^TO_.user1 !user1 :0 c * ^TO_.user2 !user2 Also note that since procmail is forwarding the email, not writing to logfiles, you don't need the lockfiles you've specified with the second : on each recipe. Now that I've told you what you've asked, I'll say that you're probably doing something wrong to even need this script, unless you are trying to redirect phoney or aliased user names to real user names. If this is not the case, and the to: will match the real user name, the following *UNTESTED* recipe, or something like it, may work so you only need one recipe, and you don't need to touch it when you add users: :0 * ^TO_.\/(.*)$ !$MATCH ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer http://thekramers.net DK KD DKK D Gravity is a harsh mistress!
