Actually we have only one email account with our ISP and
have email aliases.  So I need to read the TO: field and
forward the email to the user.  Looks like procmail will do
it.  I am reading the docs for it and I need .forward and
.procmailrc.  Using your example people, how do I send
TO:Smith... to his mail folder (/var/spool/mail/smith)?

Thank you for your help.  This is really difficult to get
working!
