But in procmailrc, we should specifiy the complete destination address. With a single procmailrc, I may need to specify that if user1@xxxxxxxxxxx  then send to user1@xxxxxxxxxxx and if user2@xxxxxxxxxxx, then send to user2@xxxxxxxxxxx etc.  Specifying 1000s of rules in a single procmailrc also  is a laborious work. Can I extract just the username from the incoming mails and send create email addresses like username@xxxxxxxxxxx on the fly.
