Can someone help me with this? I need to find a way to have procmail

That's a matter you should take up with the maker of the virtual mailbox
package you're using. Procmail can deliver to a file, or pipe the message
to a program to deliver it.
To illustrate, I have a hosting account called costa-rica-natural. The
only mailbox I find I can write to is costa-rica-natural, like this:
:0:
/var/spool/mail/costa-rica-natural
I have another email address lgs(_at_)costa-rica-natural(_dot_)com, but this
:0:
/var/spool/mail/lgs
Er, two email _addresses_ don't equate to two actual mailboxes.
Do you have separate login credidentials to the server to retrieve the mail
for these two addresses? If not, then they aren't separate mailboxes.
Further, if you're writing to these from your shell account, as a user,
rather than ROOT, then you can't arbitrarily write to another mail spool
file, unless it is owned by you (or unless your host has crappy security
settings on the spool directory).
