Looks okay to me.  Have you tried making a recipe file of it, and running
it against a mailbox full of spam?

The following are what I use for filtering junkmail messageids:

# Null body message-id
:0: $TEMP/twits$LOCKEXT
* ^Message-ID:\>*$
|/bin/gzip -9fc>>$MAILDIR/twits.gz

# Message-id header not even present.
:0: $TEMP/twits$LOCKEXT
* ! ^Message-Id:
|/bin/gzip -9fc>>$MAILDIR/twits.gz

# Compliments of Era...

:0: $TEMP/twits$LOCKEXT
* ^Message-Id:[         ]*([^<  ]|<>)
|/bin/gzip -9fc>>$MAILDIR/twits.gz

 Please DO NOT carbon me on list replies.  I'll get my copy from the list.
