Dunno if it really matters or not, but I'd remove the blank line following
the ":0 c".

I believe your actual problem is that of comparing the "From" header,
relying on ONE space, and not checking the "From:" header...  You may care
to use something like:

:0 c
* ^(From|From:).*\
        
(xx(_at_)xx(_dot_)com|xxx(_at_)xxx(_dot_)com|mail(_dot_)imagiware(_dot_)com(_at_)proteus(_dot_)imagiware(_dot_)com)
! webmaster(_at_)dirtydicks(_dot_)com,johnd(_at_)dirtydicks(_dot_)com

(I inserted the \ and 2nd line for clarity of reading on 80 cols...  It CAN
work as one line, as you had it, or as the above.)
