Sounds rather like an MTA problem. What does your mail.log have to say about it?

There is a Delivered-To: field with a valid address. Attempts to brute force the mailings to the correct address, by tweaking procmailrc, have failed miserably.

Do your procmail recipies attempt to deliver mail based on ^TO, like:

:0:
^TOsomeuser
someuser.mbx

If so, you should be aware that Delivered-To: isn't matched with that regexp macro, so it won't matter if there is a Delivered-To: header that shows the address. IIRC, Delivered-To: is not specified in ANY RFC or internet standard.

Help!

You don't provide ANY relevant log excerpts or procmail code. Any help you might get is going to be pure conjecture.
