is it really neccesary to escape the periods in the match line?
Not _really_. It makes for a more precise regular expression.
_Usually_, the dot will match an actual dot, and all will be well.
Backslash dot will match only an actual dot. It's just being pedantic.
While we're being pedantic, you probably want to say
* ^From:(_dot_)*foo(_at_)fizz(_dot_)terra(_dot_)net
instead of
* ^From:(_dot_)foo(_at_)fizz(_dot_)terra(_dot_)net
