Procmail Question?

[Edward Glowacki]

I'm not a procmail guru by any means, but some of this might work
to help organize yourself a bit, might help track down the problem.

You should be able to condense this a bit by putting To, Cc, and Bcc in 
the same line.

i.e.

* !(^To|^Cc|^Bcc).*donahu16
* !(^To|^Cc|^Bcc).*webmaster
etc.

or even

* !(^To|^Cc|^Bcc|^Subject).*(donahu16|pd|root|apps|page_paul|webmaster|hostmaster|donahue|linux-user)

though this one is a bit more awkward to manage.

And from the earlier half of your file (sorry for being out of
order!), do the same thing.
