I would like to set up a procmail recipe to redirect the

There are some missing bits of information, here. Where you tried
putting a .procmailrc -- is that where all the domain email
addresses come? When you say "redirect," you then give an
email address. Do you want to forward the spam via sendmail
(or its clone)? (If so, I would have to ask: why?) Or do
you want simply to drop the spam into a folder called "spam"?
When you say "nothing happened," well, uh, is procmail set up
on the system? Do you have or need a .forward? Have you set
up a logfile and turned it on in the .procmailrc?
Can procmail be configured to use individual procmail recipes that
are domain specific without presenting a huge security risk to the
server? (i.e. So that those recipes only affect mail going to their
I think I want to say the answer is yes, but I am having some
trouble understanding exactly what you are trying to do. Anyway,
fwiw, I have 21 domains all coming into my private address on
a shell account where I don't have root, and it all works fine.
