In addition to the useful comments that other people made, note
that those recipes are not going to work to correctly separate
users' messages. I go into great detail about this in the
section:

 Important Warning: Procmail Cannot Reliably Route Users'
 Messages in a Virtual Domain

and the subsection:

 List of Links: 'Why Headers Don't Matter' and More


which are in my Procmail Quick Start in this section:

 <http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/#virtualDomain>


Also, I suggest that you don't use the string 'inbox' or 'Inbox'
as the name of a mailbox. I discuss this here:

 <http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/#mailboxNames>

Hope this helps,
Nancy
