Sendmail will accept and ignore a comma, but like Timothy wrote, you
don't really need a delimiter. 

IMHO it could be a good idea to include an example of this in the
procmailex man page. You frequently see people do this:

:0
* condition
{
    :0c
    ! address(_at_)one(_dot_)com

    :0c
    ! address(_at_)two(_dot_)net

    :0
    ! address(_at_)three(_dot_)org
}

when it would be perfectly sufficient to say

:0
* condition
! address(_at_)one(_dot_)com address(_at_)two(_dot_)net 
address(_at_)three(_dot_)org
