procmail not right for `virtual domain'

2001-03-03 13:31:37
Ok, I've been reading  the procmail FAQ.

The question about creating a virtual domain is exactly the situation I'm in.
Basically all mail for my domain is delivered to a single pop mailbox in the
upstream, then it's grabbed with fetchmail into a local mailbox.

The theory is then, that procmail would sort out all the mail and give it to
whomever it's suposed to go.

I understand however that the envelope is now gone, thus procmail has much
difficulty doing what I've asked it to do, and as the FAQ states, procmail is
not the right tool for the job here.

So my question is, what is the right tool for the job? I'm using exim, but
have to qualms about switching to sendmail or postfix if it would help.

Or is this whole attempt futile and I should just ask my upstream to forward
all mail for my domain on down to my computer so that it can be done properly?
