Sure you can. If you use \/ in a regular expression then procmail will put
everything that matches the regex after the \/ in $MATCH, which you can then
use in a delivery line. Not saying the OP should use this method, but procmail
is definitely capable of performing this task.
Something like this would work (untested and you probably want to extend it
quite a bit, but you get the idea):
:0
* ^To:\s*\/.*$
saved-mail/$MATCH/
Also, when debugging recipes like these it can be very handy to put procmail
in verbose mode to see what it puts in $MATCH.
