Except that '^TO_' in procmail recipies is a variable that expands
into a regular expression that matches pretty much all of the possible
header lines that can contain the delivery address. From
procmailrc(1):
If the regular expression contains `^TO_' it will be substituted by
`(^((Original-)?(Resent-)?(To|Cc|Bcc)|(X-Envelope
|Apparently(-Resent)?)-To):(.*[^-a-zA-Z0-9_.])?)', which should catch
all destination specifications containing a specific address.
There's another very similar pre-defined expression ^TO which I use --
I also match on the List-ID header, which is the most effective way of
catching messages delivered by through list: the ^TO stuff is to catch
messages CC'd to me as well as to the list:
# FreeBSD Questions
:0:
* (^TO|^List-ID:.*)(freebsd-)?questions(\.|@)FreeBSD\.ORG
| ${FORMAIL} -A"X-Folder: FreeBSD/Questions" >> FreeBSD/Questions
Note too that '.' in these REs is a wildcard, matching every single
character. You need to escape it '\.' to match it literally.
Cheers,
Matthew
