I have an account setup that current when someone sends email it is

could just be my imagination, but doesn't this do what you want, very easily?

|(formail -r ; cat $HOME/.plan) | $SENDMAIL -oi -t

That will send the file .plan (and create the headers it needs from the 
formail -r part.

this account name is INFO  now we have clients who want an 
info(_at_)their-domain(_dot_)com and I need some way of doing this so that 
info(_at_)nucleus(_dot_)com  it sends the .plan file..  if mail comes in for 
info(_at_)?????(_dot_)com it should send the mail to an address that is 
specified in 
the procmail script..

I'm not sure I understand this part, perhaps you could explain?  What 
distinction are you trying to make?

sounds too simple to suggest:

:0:
*^From.info@
|(formail -r ; cat $HOME/.plan) | $SENDMAIL -oi -t

but I don't see what that won't cover for you.

please email if you think I can help.
