Sure, but if you have a friend who sends you and couple of his other
friends a message, and he doesn't want everyone to see each others
address, he might BCC you, in which case you would trash the message.
You should still capture the messages addressed to you on the envelope
but not addressed to you in the body header.

That would do it.  Or you could do it this way:

  VALID_RECIPIENTS=(\
  skuhn(_at_)telpacific(_dot_)com(_dot_)au|\
  stephen(_dot_)kuhn(_at_)gmx(_dot_)net|\
  procmail(_at_)lists(_dot_)RWTH-Aachen(_dot_)DE)
  
  :0
  *$ ^TO_$VALID_RECIPIENTS
  stephen/
  
  :0
  questionable_messages/
