Is it possible to set up a recipe that reads from a flat file, various

Yes.
:0 hWc
| formail -xto: -xcc: | sed -e 's/^/,/' -e 's/$/,/' | \
grep -if /list/of/my/aliases
:0a
{
#stuff to do if "To:" or "cc:" matched any of my aliases
}
where /list/of/my/aliases contains stuff like this:
[^-(_dot_)_a-z0-9]rch(_at_)solveinteractive\(_dot_)com[^-(_dot_)a-z0-9]
[^-(_dot_)_a-z0-9]rh29(_at_)yahoo\(_dot_)com[^-(_dot_)a-z0-9]
(Don't indent it! I only indented it to set it off from the text.
I just made up the rh29 one for illustration...)
You don't want mail for
zorch(_at_)solveinteractive(_dot_)comml-consultants(_dot_)org
for example.
But if you think stuff like that is sufficiently rare, then you can
put just your email addresses into /list/of/my/aliases, and in the
procmail recipe use:
:0 hWc
| formail -xto: -xcc: | grep -F -if /list/of/my/aliases
(Do you care about Apparently-To: or Resent-To: or Original-cc: or
Apparently-Resent-To: or X-Envelope-To: etc?)
I get mail to about 15 different aliases, addresses, etc. These I can not
change, unfortunately. Instead of creating 15 individual recipes, that all
pretty much do the same thing, is it possible to create a single entry and
then have a file with enties for each address those are going to?
Well, the above should be a starting point.
The other thing you could do is...
:0
* ! ^TO_rch(_at_)solveinteractive\(_dot_)com\>
* ! ^TO_rh29(_at_)yahoo\(_dot_)com\>
[[ etc ]]
{
# ^TO_ didn't match of ANY of my aliases !!
}
:0 E
{
# stuff to do if ^TO_ matched *any* of my aliases
}
which is just a little worse than having a file like the above.
All of the above is UNTESTED but ...
