See Suresh,

My problem is like this.

There is a user rajesh and another user melvin.

Now if I try to send mail to shekhar from user rajesh with shekhar@localhost it is
going to shekhar properly. However if I try to send a local mail to melvin then
he gets that mail but if I send a mail from melvin to rajesh it goes to melvin
back. rajesh does not receive mail.

My /etc/procmailrc is as follows :

-------------------------------
VERBOSE=OFF
LOGFILE=/var/log/proc.log

:0
* (^To:.*)*Shekhar*
/var/spool/mail/smg

:0
* (^To:.*)*Melvin*
/var/spool/mail/melvin

:0
* (^To:.*)*Sainath*
/var/spool/mail/ssp
-------------------------------

These are the headers of the mail I had sent from melvin to rajesh :

-------------------------------
From: "Melvin D'souza" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2001 11:16:29 +0530
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: local mail test
>From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Fri Jan 19 11:16:29 2001
User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i
-------------------------------

This mail is going back to melvin. But it can not be due to procmailrc since
there I have put TO and in the above headers you can see that From part contains
Melvin :-)

Got my problem ?

Regards

Rajesh
