I recently had a spam sneak through filters with the following

First appearances are that this was identified by the FROM_MAILER
"macro" in procmail v3.11pre7  Is this possible?  I had thought
that this macro _wouldn't_ match on mailer addresses that included
numbers in the userid?

Not the case.  Look at the expression in the man page for procmailrc.
Everywhere 0-9 appears it's with a-z as well.  Hence, there's nothing
special about numbers with respect to FROM_MAILER.
