I'm wondering what the recipe is to have mail that either the To, From Cc
match to be routed to a folder.

   The procmail custom seems to be to use scoring to OR successive
conditions. To make this non-obvious technique more readable, I use:

OR=2147483647^0                      # Max score => immediate success. i.e. OR


   :0:                               # Note: \t is a literal tab in practice:
   * $ $OR ^To:[ \t]*nice_regexp
   * $ $OR ^Cc:[ \t]*nice_regexp
   * $ $OR ^From:[ \t]*nice_regexp
   action

   Looking back at it, I can't quite see why the first $ is needed, since
scoring doesn't need it, and the $OR ought be expanded without assistance.
Perhaps it works like a shell eval, causing the line to be reparsed by the
interpreter.

   The manpages will clarify whether your action requires the second colon, etc.
