So, I thought I would utilize Procmail to catch messages sent to the old

the list. Please post your message to 
<mailto:listname(_at_)server2(_dot_)domain(_dot_)com>listname(_at_)server2(_dot_)domain(_dot_)com

Use the MTA to simply bounce a concise message (or URL) in response to 
messages addressed to the now invalid address.  No real need to involve 
procmail, because at that point, you've actually accepted the message - if 
you bounce at the MTA, it'll occur during the recupient addressing phase, 
before the body of the message has been passed to your server.

Since there is other/non-list mail being sent to 
<http://server1.domain.com>server1.domain.com, I can't

This is why I use a "lists.domain.tld" setup on my own servers. <g>

  Please DO NOT carbon me on list replies.  I'll get my copy from the list.
