the customer needs the kludge to seperate the mails for his
employees that he receives in one mailbox. Therefore the above
"your text here" needs to be a variable containing the receiver
(they use some tobit software that chokes on mailing-list mails).

The sendmail FAQ says:

1.Use FEATURE(local_procmail) in your .mc file so procmail (which
you must install separately) will deliver mail to the mailbox.

2.Use FEATURE(virtusertable) to create a virtual user table entry
for the domain as follows:
 @domain.com     domuser+%1
where domuser is the username of the mailbox you will be using.
Note that "domuser" must be an actual username, *not* an alias.
It may be necessary to append "@localhost", as follows
 @domain.com     domuser+%1@localhost

3.Put this in the respective domuser's $HOME/.procmailrc:

     DOMAIN=domain.com
     ENV_TO=$1

     :0f
     * ENV_TO ?? .
     | formail -i "X-Envelope-To: "$ENV_TO@$DOMAIN

     :0fE
     | formail -i "X-Envelope-To: UNKNOWN"


I created the .procmailrc, that however results only in an
"X-Envelope-To: UNKNOWN" in each mail ...
