basically, i have a domain name (towel.com) managed by an ISP (best.com),
and e-mail for <anyuser>@towel.com goes to my single user account at the
ISP (dano(_at_)best(_dot_)com). so i potentially have mail for
"tom(_at_)towel(_dot_)com,"
"dick(_at_)towel(_dot_)com," and "harry(_at_)towel(_dot_)com" all ending up
at "dano(_at_)best(_dot_)com(_dot_)"
This is the mother of all FAQs...
Basically, this cannot work. User names can be missing from the headers
(mailing lists, Bcc: header, etc) and you cannot dispatch mail with
procmail in that case.
If your Internet access provider told you his setup was a way to have
your own domain, change for a new IAP. The former one is a liar.
He can use UUCP or some form of leaf-triggered-SMTP to reach the same
goal... in a proper way. procmail is not the right tool for that job.
