One of the mailing lists I subscribe to has changed mail servers, and

:0 Wh: msgid.lock
| formail -D 8192 msgid.cache

which was working perfectly until someone else on the list mentioned I
had the *old* server's To: address in my reply.  So what I need to do
is add a condition that only emails coming from "@wtic.net" may be
deleted.  How could I modify this recipe so that only the @wtic.net
messages would be vanquished?

It's not sensible to modify the above recipe. A simple solution would be to
put a recipe before this one deleting the messages from the old host: 

:0
* ^(Resent-)*From:(_dot_)*(_at_)wtic(_dot_)net
/dev/null
