If it were me I'd look to some other headers first.  You'll often see
in the Received header a line like this:

Received: from nf-out-0910.google.com (nf-out-0910.google.com [64.233.182.189])
        by mx3.redhat.com (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id k67G9n2Y029875
        for <fedora-list at redhat.com>; Fri, 7 Jul 2006 12:09:50 -0400

Also, you could make the procmail rule match either and then in a sub
rule (or nested rule, what procmail calls them) you could more
explicitly test the values in the to and cc headers.  The rules you
gave as examples were a little unspecific.  You could tighten them up
by using something like this as your pattern to match when support was
the only address in the to or cc field:

* ^(To|Cc): *support at domain$

There are probably many ways to solve this.  The procmail users lists
and archives are likely to be of greater assistance.

P.S. please don't top post [1] :)
