    Has anyone come up with a method of dealing with this situation,
i.e., with ill-mannered list servers which do obnoxious things to mail
headers?  (One mail server stripped out MIME headers, which caused
unpleasantness on a non-English, non-USASCII list.)
Did ! ^FROM_MAILER not catch this?
    I admit that I did not think to put * ! ^FROM_MAILER in the
rejection recipe.  However, that macro is so complicated that I have
trouble unraveling it.  (My version of procmail is 3.10).  Here is an
actual header from a "normal" received post (before unsubscribing). 

For the record, the headers you posted trip on ^FROM_DAEMON but not on
^FROM_MAILER. (Simply ran the headers through a three-line recipe
file. Procmail should arguably have a simpler way to test these
things.)
