SANDBOX. Run it in a SANDBOX.
VERBOSE=ON, examine the logs. Before assuming that procmail isn't
forwarding to multiple recipients properly, make sure that the recipe is
matching the conditions as you expect them (as Dallman said, that lack of
space between the header and content probably means your recipe isn't
matching).
As for commas, the point was discussed here about a week ago (again),
IIRC, it was in the context of adding comments, and my point (besides that
commas aren't asked for by Sendmail) was that the addresses on the
!-forward line are effectively BCC'd to the message, so comments were
meaningless, even if they didn't aggravate Sendmail.
In any event, $SENDMAIL contains the name of the program (possibly with
options) which is invoked to send messages (basically, for forwarding, but
it is also useful wherever you may wish to manually send something - in
delivery pipelines for instance), and the contents of the ! line (minus the
bang of course) are tacked onto that.
IOW, check what your $SENDMAIL is set to, and then check the manpage for
that program - ultimatley, that's what determines if the syntax you provide
on the ! line is acceptable.
I'm with Dallman though - no spaces works, is less cruft, and just happens
to match the sendmail manpage, so that's what I use, even if commas were
allowed.
