Yes, you could do it that way - setting it before the case blocks..
That does actually make more sense - setting it in the first block isn't 
necessarily reliable - you may not have the correct header entries.

Jason, this makes more sense actually..

You'd do something like:

SENDTO=faxin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

case $SENDER in

 *305*243*5662*) SENDTO="health@xxxxxxxxxxxxx";;

esac

case $CIDNUMBER in

 *215*368*1960*) SENDTO="rigan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";;

esac
