procmail - formail]

[D. Taylor]

procmail seems like total overkill for this task.

If you're using sendmail or her cousins, I would
consider using /etc/aliases, or if "support" is
a pseudo-user, ~support/.forward

If you're using qmail, and support is a pseudo-
user, then you could add the following lines to
~support/.qmail:

&somebody@otherdomain.com
&other@somedomain.org
./storage_folder

Be sure to make ~support/.qmail owned by "support",
and set the mode to 600.
