See, also, my nearly identical answer from 10 August 2006 to
Imran's earlier version of this same question.

(I also pointed out there taht using "mydomain.com" as a generic
example of a domain is not a good idea, because mydomain.com is
a real domain with hundreds of thousands of customers. That I
learned from bad experience to stay away from them is unrelated to
my point that it's a bad habit to use that domain in examples not
meant to apply do that domain specifically.)

Dear All,

I want to filter all emails coming not from my own domain to our
private email address say privateaddress (AT) mydomain (DOT) com . I am working
around following recipie but it is not working, kindly tell me how to
write it.

The most simple or innocent recipe is:

FRM=`formail -r -x"To: "`
:0
* ! FRM ? @my.own.main\>
! private@address

I think it's ok for start. If your private is gmail you
already have SPAM filter.

:0
* !^From:outsidefrom-mydomain (AT) mydomain (DOT) com
* ^T (AT) mydomain (DOT) com
/dev/null

If you don't wnat to read extra info in the mans, read the man for
procmailex (examples) you will see what /dev/null means. If you
want to learn procmail I suggest you to start from
#steps (Nancy
McGough's Step by Step)

example.com is a domain specifically maintained for example purposes.

I myself tend to use "host.domain.tld", as - at least currently - there is
no "tld" top level domain, and the various tokens in that string identify
what they are (host, domain, tld).
