I received BOTH copies of your post loud and clear.
At 19:33 2002-06-24 +0530, Balu did say:
thru procmail matching X-Rcpt-To:
but i seem to miss some mails,
My guess: any message addressed to more than one person, either at your
domain, or at your ISP (and ALL THE DOMAINS IT HOSTS). This is easy to
test: send yourself a test message (from remote, so as to ensure it passes
into your ISP mailserver), and cc: another username on your domain.
You should still _receive_ the messages, but you're getting ONE copy, and
it doesn't have the X-Rcpt-To: header. This is not at all unexpected.
i don't know how.. probably some ISP's don't have this header anymore?
Procmail is not an MTA. 'man procmail' and search for 'MTA'. Does that
block of text seem familiar?
any suggestions?
Consider setting up your MTA to exchange mail with the upline server like a
real mail server would. Read the manpage for fetchmail, esp. the MULTIDROP
bit, and discuss the matter with your upstream ISP.
Everybody who tries to use Procmail in an MTA role ends up banging their
head against this sort of thing - it's why you shouldn't use procmail for
that particular thing from the outset. Just wait until your ISP changes
mailservers and your magic header goes away (you know they'll bother to
give you a call and let you know before they do this, right?), causing all
your email to fail to be delivered to the appropriate recipient...
