Filtering on the Bcc header with procmail

How do you filter on the Bcc header with procmail?

You don’t.

I had wanted to do this so that I could Bcc messages to myself where I was delegating something or otherwise waiting for a response and have them automatically go to a @Wait folder, but this won’t work.

As an alternative, I’m toying with the idea of processing my Sent folder once a day and moving them into one of:

  • Sent (processed)
  • @Wait
  • etc…

It’s basically processing the Outbox very similarly to how you process the Inbox. I haven’t tried this yet, but it makes sense to me.
