Please read Jeremy's reply to my incorrect post.
Or alternatively this:
<shamelessly lifted from the KCLUG archives>
If the regular expression contains '^TO_' it will be substituted by
'(^((Original-)?(Resent-)?(To |Cc |Bcc) |(X-Envelope
|Apparently(-Resent)?)-To) :(.*[^-a-zA-Z0-9_.])?)', which should catch all
destination specifications containing a specific address.
</shamelessly lifted from the KCLUG archives>
In other words, Procmail reads '^TO_' as anyplace that could be used as a
"To:" field including the "Apparently-To" header record which the KCLUG
mailer uses. Or as you asked also the CC and BCC records. My post was due to my
ignorance of how the '^TO_' works.
