Procmailers,
I have been receiving an increasing amount of unsolicited email with
the From field containing all numbers before the '@', example:
From: 03195750(_at_)msn(_dot_)com
I tried to puzzle out the regular expression syntax but could not find a
way to detect 'everything between From: and @ is all numbers'
Any assistance greatly appreciated!
The irony here is that I never saw his posting since he forged his address
in this fashion.

* ^From: [0-9]+@
An improvement being:
* ^(From|(Reply-)?To):[ ][0-9]+@
Keeping in mind that there really are some people in the world
who use all numeric ids legitmately. i.e., these are two users on Netcom:
007
0508318
