That recipe, I believe, will catch addresses of the form
Ilike2ski(_at_)bigdomain(_dot_)com and biff(_at_)number3isp(_dot_)net(_dot_)
What's more, if any line
matching the ^TO: macro (including ^To:, ^Cc:, ^Bcc:, and others), has a
decimal digit occurring anywhere in it, the message will go to /dev/null.
So, if I am right, it does not look so safe.
Am I right?
I guess you are correct...
So, a little modification is necessary...

This will catch email addresses where the local -part ends with a digit 1-9.
It will not notice herman0(_at_)your(_dot_)com
I know a university where the local-part of students' email address is
numeric. It's moderately common (I have seen it discussed wrt fetchmail
several times; fetchmail's parser wasn't clever enough to spot them in
contect).
