Help? Forwarding strangeness - sendmail sends too much

2000-09-23 00:08:11
I set up my procmail to forward messages to my wife to her email account
with our ISP (but I wanted to give her a permanent email address using
my domain name).  It has resulted in some atypical results.

The procmail rc file says:

:0
* ^To: (_dot_)*xxxx(_at_)weatherwatchers(_dot_)org*
! xxxx(_at_)home(_dot_)com

:0
* ^Cc: (_dot_)*xxxx(_at_)weatherwatchers(_dot_)org*
! xxxx(_at_)home(_dot_)com

And this works fine, when someone sends her an email, it goes to the
correct location @home.com.  When someone sends me an email (for example
to yyyy(_at_)weatherwatchers(_dot_)org) it goes through fine (technically the 
web
serving ISP forwards all email to @weatherwatchers.org to an account
zzzz(_at_)webserver(_dot_)com).

BUT, when the email is addressed like this...

TO: xxxx(_at_)weatherwatchers(_dot_)org
TO: (or CC:) yyyy(_at_)weatherwatchers(_dot_)org

I have problems.

If I send the above from yyyy(_at_)weatherwatchers(_dot_)org, the proc_log says:

From whoever(_at_)wherever(_dot_)com  Fri Sep 22 14:39:16 2000
Folder: /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi xxxx(_at_)home(_dot_)com

From whoever(_at_)wherever(_dot_)com  Fri Sep 22 14:39:16 2000
Folder: /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi xxxx(_at_)home(_dot_)com

but she does NOT get two copies, and I never see the message.

OR, if someone other than me sends the above, it just says:

From whoever(_at_)wherever(_dot_)com  Fri Sep 22 14:39:16 2000
Folder: /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi xxxx(_at_)home(_dot_)com

The second adressee (i.e. me) never gets the message.

Any ideas what's going on here, or how I can fix it?

Thanks
