Re: can this be done with procmail

The virtual domain stuff is done on another machine. This machine deceides where mail for which domain must go.
Mail for internal accounts go to one machine.
Mail for external accounts go to the machine where I try to set up procmail. No rewriting is done at this machine (mail is directly dropped in user mailboxes).

Mail for @special_client.com must be delivered in the users mailbox AND in one collapsed mailbox (i.e. that mailbox contains mail that is sent to single accounts in the 'special_client.com' domain).
Does this explanation make things more clear.......


Mostly.  You have a virtual domain setup; how does the MTA pass the
envelope recipient to procmail, or does it?  If you're not sure what
the answer to that is, how about you describe the MTA setup that does
this mail routing for these virtual domains.  Do you use sendmail with
the mailertable?  Sendmail with the virtusers table?  Some other MTA?

The problem is that you need the MTA to make availible to procmail the
envelope recipient (which can differ from the addresses in the header!)
so that procmail knows who is being handled.
