That won't work. It doesn't catch all mail to the domain, only to a
user.
The original post said he didn't wat to setup usernames against the
virtual domain.
Even if you used a catch-all, it would dunk Cc's
procmail is the effective (and resource efficient) way to accomplish the
objective
sendmail is a resource hog. Look at your "top" sometimes when you know
that there
is a lot of email coming into the domain and you'll see what I mean.
