Hmmm. on Bcc'd messages, if the message is ultimately delivered to your
address, call it $USER, and there is either a .forward file with the usual
invocation of procmail, or if there is a ruleset in your local mail
configuration to specify procmail as your MDA, I don't see how such e-mail's
can escape being processed by procmail. If you have aliases that aren't
defined in /etc/aliases, won't they either be delivered to "users" of that
name (assuming they're somehow known to the MTA), or will be rejected as an
"unknown user". If your aliases are pipes to procmail, and that's the only
way that you handle the invocation of procmail on your system, then of
course you'll need to define a procmail pipe for each aliased user that
needs to have its mail filtered by procmail. Maybe I'm missing your point
here?
I might have used 'Bcc' hastily. I have since deleted the emails in
question, but I believe they were delivered like this actual sample
from my Sendmail file and upon their arrival, they had no 'for' in
the Received field or were otherwise addressed directly to the recipient
and they arrived in the $USER mailbox unbothered by any /etc/procmailrc
recipes. I have set a recipe to attach a header to these kinds of emails
when they come again so I can reference them better in the logfile. I
may have mixed some other email with the following log file entry:
Dec 23 22:47:39 orbital sendmail[14447]: WAA14445:
to=<someone(_at_)cuenet(_dot_)com>,<someoneElse(_at_)cuenet(_dot_)com>,<me(_at_)cuenet(_dot_)com>,
delay=00:00:12, xdelay=00:00:04, mailer=esmtp, relay=xxx.cuenet.com.
[xxx.242.122.xxx], stat=Sent (WAA31850 Message accepted for delivery)
