No. If you add a catch-all to every case (and all the cases are used  
to set the SENDTO variable), only the last case block will actually  
work as the catch-all entry will replace any value set by a previous  
case block.

You should only put a catch-all entry in the first block (or set the  
SENDTO default value before all the case block and don't set any  
catch-all entry). You should also put the blocks from lowest priority  
to highest. i.e. if a fax matches an entry in both SENDER and  
CIDNUMBER, the entry of the last block will replace the entry set in  
the first block.
