My mail server company only has given me one mailbox. That single mailbox collects -all- mail sent to skytrackercanada.com like bob@skytrackercanada.com to anything@skytrackercanada.com One person cannot separate out their mail. When I POP the server for the one address, I get ALL the mail; bob, david, etc.. That's why I need procmail to take that mail and divide it up. The only way I can see of doing what I understand you suggest is to leave the mail on the server, so that -both- bob and I collect ALL the mail and discard what is not ours.
