Procmail Regex

Hi All,

Right now I have a global account which reside in my ISP's server, and
I twice a day get all my emails using fetchmail + cron and delivered
them to each mailbox using procmail.

Right now I'm using an abundant rules to check agains 'To' and
'Received' header from incoming mails as shown below

====================
:0
* ^To:.+a@domain\.com
! a@domain.com

:0
* ^Received:.+a@domain\.com
! a@domain.com

:0
* ^To:.+a@domain\.com
! a@domain.com

:0
* ^Received:.+a@domain\.com
! a@domain.com

..
..
..
..
====================

This rule is very inefficient. As I create new user, I have to add two
additional rule entry. Is there any regex alternative to my problem ?

Thanks,

Dino

Fetchmail will do this for you without needing recourse to procmail.
Take a look at the manpage, with a particular eye on an options string
such as "user 'yourdomain.com' there is * here".
