Notes
From the mailers documentation:
This is designed to be used in mailertables. For example, a common question is "how do I forward all mail for a given domain to a single person?". If you have this mailer defined, you could set up a mailertable reading:
host.com procmail:/etc/procmailrcs/host.comwith the file /etc/procmailrcs/host.com reading:
:0 # forward mail for host.com ! -oi -f $1 person@other.hostThis would arrange for (anything)@host.com to be sent to person@other.host. Within the procmail script, $1 is the name of the sender and $2 is the name of the recipient.
If you use this with FEATURE(`local_procmail'), the FEATURE should be listed first.
Of course there are other ways to solve this particular problem, e.g., a catch-all entry in a virtusertable.
