A few words of caution:
-> As I see it, this a problem of multidrop combined with multi-rcpt. You might have to put the procmail file for each account that has multidrop.
-> There is a typo on the sendmail.org page. The following on the page:
formail -i "X-Envelope-To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Should read:
formail -i "X-Envelope-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Notice the quote *after* the $ENV_TO$DOMAIN.
-> This causes sendmail to make multiple copies of the message as you want. Since they are identical copies, except the X-Envelope-To header, any message identification headers are also recplicated...e.g. Message-Id. Depending on the mail usage you have, this might cause problems.
-> The solution works on my sendmail server - your mileage may vary.
Am not sure. Unless I am mistaken, the page says that virtual users should be defined as:
@domain.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This puts the envelope information in the mail address. The mailer understands this as a email address extension([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Then procmail can take this as an argument and deliver it using the additional X-Envelope-To: header.
But, in most control panel software like the cobalt one I am worried about, the default virtuser entry for the catch-all account that is created is of the form:
@domain.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The envelope information is lost *before* delivery, so sendmail while receiving on behalf of domuser has no clue as to the intended envelope recipient.
True, but most hosting panels, including the one on a Cobalt [RaQ3 atleast], lets you add custom entries to the virtusertable file. Simply don't add the catch-all account through the control panel and instead add it by hand in the domuser+%1 format to virtusertable file.
Remember to do a makemap on the virtusertable file.
Also, remember to brush your teeth at night.
