Simple. The syntax is one address per line, or separated by commas, I think.  
The format is the same as for aliases. See the aliases man page from Sun. 
When you receive a mail, it is send to each email address specified. If the 
line begins with '|', it is instead piped to the named program.

Here is an example: 3 lines. The first sends a copy of the mail to 
another address, the second processes another copy and the third is a call 
to vacation.

foo@bar.edu
"| ~/bin/procmail -d "
\me, "|/usr/ucb/vacation me"

Once again, look on a Sun (why do they have better man pages :-().

Hope it helps,

Lga.
