I am trying to filter mail sent to myself (I bounce Usenet

match when I am at the server. A sample header would be:

Why do you expect +either+ of these conditions to match the above example?
What do "when I am at the sendmail client" and "when I am at the
server" mean?
Try this:
:0:
* $ ^From[ ]$LOGNAME[ ]
me
The stuff in the brackets is a space and a tab. Note that Procmail
does +not+ interpret \t as a tab character. Double quotes are matched
verbatim in recipes. If you want to "or" two conditions, the recipe
you tried does not work. (I'm not too sure about what you wanted so I
won't elaborate. If you can describe what exactly you had expected to
happen and why, I'm sure the list can help you write a recipe to do
just that.)
Hope this helps,
