You shouldn't use a lock when forwarding a message, so remove the colon
after zero.

User `user' already has the e-mail, so you only want to forward a copy of
that message and send to userX. So both users will have the message.


:0 c
* ^(To|Cc):(_dot_)*user1(_at_)xyz\(_dot_)com
! user1

:0 c
* ^(To|Cc):(_dot_)*user2(_at_)xyz\(_dot_)com
! user2

:0 c
* ^(To|Cc):(_dot_)*user3(_at_)xyz\(_dot_)com
! user3



or better approach:

:0 c
* ^TO_\/(user1|user2|user3)@xyz\.com
! $MATCH


or even better(it converts usernames to lowercases, so if you want to
save a copy into files user1 etc., they'll always lowercase), but
probably this is an overkill:

# I think you can also change 3rd line to contain
# ^TO_\/(user1|user2|user3)@xyz\.com
   :0
   *
   ^TO_\/(user1|user2|user3)@
   * MATCH ?? ()\/[^(_at_)]+
   { 
    USR=$MATCH
    users="user1%user1!user2%user2!user3%user3"
    :0:
    * $ users ?? ()$USR%\/[^!]+
    $MATCH
    :0E:
    $USR
   }


Another nice option for converting uppercase to lowercase is:

    # where VAR contains the mixed-case string
    :0D
    * VAR ?? [A-Z]
    { VAR=`echo "$VAR" | tr [A-Z] [a-z]` }

Everything is stolen from this list. ;)
