thanks for the hints. I looked around and found this in the procmail man page:

...
Procmail is not the proper tool for sharing one mailbox among many users, 
such as when you have one POP account for all mail to your domain. It can be 
done if you manage to configure your MTA to add some headers with the 
envelope recipient data in order to tell Procmail who a message is for, but 
this is usually not the right thing to do. Perhaps you want to investigate if 
your MTA offers `virtual user tables', or see e.g. the `multidrop' facility 
of Fetchmail.   
...

What Do you think about that?

I agree with it, but that's only to be expected given that I _wrote_
that paragraph.
