RE: BCC

Chris,

Yes.  That's exactly my point.  I've read that man page and used the ^TO_
macro but it doesn't work.  I was just wondering why it wasn't working.

Jason

So is it possible to work with BCCs?  If an email is sent to a recipient
as
a BCC and that recipient's email is parsed with procmail, is there a way
to
handle it?  Is there a ^BCC_ directive or something?

Your MTA is supposed to remove BCC headers before it ever gets to
procmail.  Hence the "blind" in "blind carbon copy" -- recipients
aren't supposed to see who else it went to.  But if you're trying
to catch stuff that you've Bcc'ed to yourself (I suppose that's
legal :) ^TO_ *will pick it up.  From PROCMAILRC(5):

       If the regular expression contains `^TO_' it will be  sub-
       stituted by `(^((Original-)?(Resent-)?(To|Cc|Bcc)|(X-
       Envelope|Apparently(-Resent)?)-To):(.*[^-a-zA-Z0-9_.])?)',
       which should catch all destination specifications
       containing a specific address.

Chris
