I want to test all headers for the string "[24.92.0.". My
program escape's the bracket and dots, and generates the condition

According to the log with VERBOSE=ON, this test (do NOT match)
returns false, i.e. the pattern has matched. I don't see a backslash
immediately preceding a digit, so the pattern should *NOT* be a
repetition count. Any ideas? If I get really desparate, I could
Procmail doesn't support repetition count, so it could never be
interpreted as such. It's likely that the backslash at the beginning
of the line is not being used to quote the bracket, but instead it's
just being interpreted as the end of the condition modifiers. Try:
* ! ()\[24\.92\.0\.
