For something like this, you don't need to 'or' conditions, you just

Thank you, this hint was what I was looking after!
...however this particular sort of match is so common that there's a
shorthand for it:
* ^TO_alias1(_at_)site
??? I see that "_" used for 1st time...this site is using version
2.92pre7. Gotta experiment right away!
The reason for this "alias workaround" was the doubled messages
when people answered to alias-msg's and Cc'd to the alias...
Now the alias contains only my address and procmail/formail takes
care of the rest; like mailing and adding "Errors-To" and "Reply-To".
MISCELLANEOUS
If the regular expression contains `^TO_' it will be substi-
tuted by `(^((Original-)?(Resent-)?(To|Cc|Bcc)|(X-Envelope
|Apparently(-Resent)?)-To):(.*[^-a-zA-Z0-9_.])?)', which
should catch all destination specifications containing a
specific _address_.
There are several other such builtin expansions, so you should read that
section for more info.
Been reading through that section several times, but first now
I _understood_ what is said there. Thanks again!
