I found this on Era's mini-FAQ.
http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/users/reriksso/procmail/mini-faq.html#forward-many
If you have a largish list of recipients, you might prefer to store the
addresses in an external file you can edit without mucking with your
Procmail filters:
# The file $MAILDIR/addresses.txt contains the recipients, one per line
:0
* ^Subject: result from cgi-bin/www-feedback$
! `cat addresses.txt`
# ^ Make sure those ^ are backticks, BTW (ASCII 96)

In trying to fine-tune the forwarding with "Old-Postmark:" recipe,
I was sent a line of perl code to hopefully complete the forwarding
processes to 5 or 10 e-mail addresses in a separate text file.
I used a test .txt file with 3 addresses in it, but what happened
was the system just kept chunking out copies of the "Test" e-mail &
forwarding them to the 1st address in the .txt file. I went back
in and "#'d" out all the lines to shut off the loop.
What might be needed to end the loop and just cycle through the
addresses ONE time?
Thanks for any assistance.
