Re: using a username variable with TO_

I think you aren't telling procmail to do a variable expansion in 
the regular expression.  I think the correct syntax would be

username=glaves

:0:
* $ ! ^TO_${username}(_at_)pinn\(_dot_)net
junkmailbox

:0:
.inbox

I am attempting to write a system wide ruleset which will require minimal
modification to install in a users home directory.  I am having problems
using a variable after the 'TO_' flag.  Here is what I am trying to do:

---snip---
username=glaves
:0:
* ! ^To_$username(_at_)pinn(_dot_)net
junkmailbox
:0:
.inbox
---snip---

The snipit above does not work, but if I replace 
'$username(_at_)pinn(_dot_)net' with
'glaves(_at_)pinn(_dot_)net', it works.  I know I could limit it only to 
"@pinn.net",
but I would like to have the ability to limit the mail to a single incoming
address.

Any help would be great.

thanks,
