Q3.29 -- How can I add a header specifying the actual recipient when having
multiple users in a virtual
domain go to a single mailbox?

Date: July 2, 1998

Stuffing multiple user's mail into a single mail box is not a good method
of distributing user mail but if you must do this, the following solution
should allow a tool like fetchmail to separate the messages for individual
users.

    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.
    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"

       This will insert an X-Envelope-To header with the original envelope
recipient address when the message is delivered the normal way via the
virtusertable, and UNKNOWN if for some
       reason it was sent directly to domuser.

Although I have done this, ENV_TO is never set to anything.

Any ideas as to why not?
