The Original problem: Given a hundred users who email addresses have
moved from one company to another. ie user(_at_)A(_dot_)com to
user(_at_)B(_dot_)com(_dot_)
I needed to forward all messages to the new account and do an auto-reply
to the orignator, with an explaination and the new users email address.
So here it is....
How is this supposed to be invoked? A mailertable entry for A.com?
Or are people who send to user(_at_)B(_dot_)com also getting these messages?
# This gleens the user name from the To: field
# the puts it in the default $MATCH variable
# to be used later.

Bzzt, you lose. You just extracted the To: header, when you should
have used the envelope recipient address. Does no one at your company
get cc'ed, or subscribe to mailing lists? If this recipe is indeed
located in /etc/procmailrc, then the envelope recipient is conveniently
located in the LOGNAME variable. If procmail is being called via a
mailertable entry, then $2 is what you want, though you'll need to copy
it from there to a normal variable to do anything with it.

$HOME? Then is all mail to A.com being routed to a single account, where
this is being executed? Choke, barf, vomit, heave...
