I'm in the process of moving plambert.org away from Best to a FreeBSD
box under my own complete control.

I've come to really like the X-Rcpt-To: header.

Anyone know a way with sendmail and procmail to provide something
similar?  I remember how much of a big deal it seemed to be when the
header was added, and how incredibly useful it has been since.  But I
have no idea how to get this information from sendmail (which has it
and throws it away) to procmail (which could then do magic with it).

Ideas?

you don't say how you will be getting your email.
will your box be listed as an MX for your domain?

Sorry, I wasn't very clear.

The MX record for my domain points to my box.  The box has a 24/7 connection
(well, in theory, of course.  ;-)

So mail gets delivered directly to the happy little sendmail sitting
there.  I have a number of domains on the box, and am using virtusertable
to parcel things out.  But I'd like people to basically receive the
envelope To somewhere in the headers in a regular fashion.

It'd _really_ kick ass if I could stop the "optimization" of the delivery
so that if someone sends To: plambert@plambert.org and CC's:
foo@plambert.net, even though I have @plambert.org and @plambert.net
pointing to plambert in virtusertable, I'd get two copies delivered,
just like at Best.

Any ideas?

Ohhh. You didn't mention THAT little issue.

ask Matt/Sam/... for source then :-)

It was suggested to me that a hack applied to the MDA would be
appropriate.  As to the actual source used for X-Rcpt-To:, Andy Bibik
would know, but he's gone.
