So IS there a way to get who the message is being delivered to and the

probably just set a variable to hold your domain name that its being
delivered to?
$LOGNAME is the local username to which a message is being delivered on
behalf of. Often, this has absolutely no bearing on the ADDRESS to which
it is delivered to (say, if you have a user with multiple domains, or even
simply aliases).
X-Envelope-To: (or Delivered-To:, etc), are headers which some MTAs either
insert by default or can be convinced to insert. A caveat here is that
say, with Sendmail, while it's easy to add the X-Envelope-To:, the program
will NOT add it if there were more than one recipient to the message (via
this host), and thus you cannot count on it always being there - this is
the same logic which prevents the "for user(_at_)domain" clause from being
inserted into the Received: header under the same conditions.
If you want to ensure that procmail is invoked with the username and
domain, you'll have to set up aliases and virtusertable entries (in the
case of Sendmail) for each such account to invoke procmail with that
information. Unless you have very few users and aliases, this would be a
mammoth task, obviously best handled via a script using a db to generate
the bodies of these files (but well outside the scope of the procmail list
-- your basic problem is with the MTA).
