Ah, right, I see what you mean. In that case the test has to be on
To: OR Cc: OR Envelope-to: and then an expression that matches the
user address (typically *username@yourdomain*).
You don't need to OR the tests - they can just be performed
sequentially. However the order is important because you might have a
message to two or more users in your domain(s), or sent to one and
copied to another. You have the same problem filtering in MPro/Pluto
if you have multiple users.
I think you need to divert on Envelope-to: first, accept Envelope-to:
other users and then divert on To: and Cc:. In the case of messages to
two users in the same header and no Envelope-to: header then you just
have to decide whether you want to divert both or accept both. I can't
see a way around that problem, but in most cases Envelope-to: should
do the job.
