Lucky him. You're both aware that Procmail IS NOT an MTA, right? That's always a good thing to keep in mind. When you discover that when you and/or your brother receive something that was BCC'd it doesn't get delivered like you want, hold off on reporting it as a bug, because it ain't one.

Is there a way to use ^TO_ with an exact expression and not only an expression that is contained in the address?

Give it a more exact expression. That, or take the ^TO_ macro and roll it out yourself. It'd documented in the manpages, and if you enable VERBOSE logging, it'd appear in the logfiles...

I'm not going to test it and evaluate what sort of circumstance you might shoot yourself in the foot with it, but why not require a wordbreak before the 't' ?
