    I'd like to do the following using proc mail/formail.
    
    1. Re-format "To:" field, but I don't want the mail to be send "To:
filed users.
        rather it will go the all the user present in Bcc: list.

        For example:

         Mail to the all user, forwarded by procmail should show
            To: "To the subscribers'"  - which is not valid address.

Right.  So make it a valid address: turn it into a 'group' address with
an empty group:

      To: The subscribers:;

Check out rfc822 if you want to know more about group addresses.

        [Banerjee, Tapas],  Now I understand. 
        But the To: filed is in Japanese.
        On encoding it looks  like following.
        -I"To:=?iso-2022-jp?B?GyRCJDQ5WEZJJE4zJyQ1JF4kWBsoQg==?=" \ 
        So should I make
:=?iso-2022-jp?B?GyRCJDQ5WEZJJE4zJyQ1JF4kWBsoQg==?="  as
        empty group in /etc/aliases file?.

        Or if I could map display address different from mailing address,
that can also serve
        my purpose. For example.
        Your mailing address - SMTP:guenther(_at_)gac(_dot_)edu, is shown in my 
OUTLOOK
mail To: field as "Philip Guenther"
        in the same way "The subscriber" <Empty Group in /etc/aliases file> 
         if displays :=?iso-2022-jp?B?GyRCJDQ5WEZJJE4zJyQ1JF4kWBsoQg==?="  
        also should be fine.

        2.  Any idea how to get rid of "@gs.com" on "From" and "To" field
shown
             to the recipient?. Do I have to change "sendmail" configuration
file,
                so that it does not attaches these.

                Thanks
