That's plainly wrong. The "To:" header will contain broken crap instead of a recipient address. Just *DON'T* do that. Try to modify the "Subject:" instead. I'm positively sure than even the crapware from a well-known Redmond-based company can filter based on the subject of individual posts. > But I got this error in the procmail logfile: > > sed: 1: "s/^[tT]o:[[:space:]]\+/ ...": unescaped newline inside substitute > pattern It may be that procmail does weird things with the regexp string or that procmail doesn't accept extended regexps (I think I remember finding out about this one a while ago).
