You may want to use the special form for the expression

* ^TO_user1 at domain.com

This will cause your recipe to apply to all the To: CC: ETC. fields that the mail could be sent to.

What is happening to the messages? Are they going anywhere? You probably want to log what procmail is doing, and you may want to use the example recipe in the procmailex man page that makes sure that procmail doesn't lose messages, but keeps a backup copy of all the messages it has processed recently.
