Jim;
I think I confused "*" with a wildcard...aaargh, thanks!
Believe it or not, "signoff" didn't work :-) It was after all, the first
thing I tried <chuckle>
Until now  was unaware that ^Sender was an option in Procmail, I didn't see
it in the man pages.

I don't think you understand what the "*" does; it matches 0 or more
of the previous character.  You specified a space, so it would match,
for example:

  From_               <LISTSERV(_at_)LISTSERV(_dot_)CLASSROOM(_dot_)COM>

but not

  From  Some pesky text <LISTSERV(_at_)LISTSERV(_dot_)CLASSROOM(_dot_)COM>

or

  From:  Some pesky text <LISTSERV(_at_)LISTSERV(_dot_)CLASSROOM(_dot_)COM>


Listserv usually uses the Sender: field, so I think your best bet is:

:0
* ^Sender:(_dot_)*net-happenings(_at_)listserv(_dot_)classroom(_dot_)com
/dev/null

For that matter, have you tried unsubscribing?  Try sending

signoff net-happenings

in the body to listserv(_at_)listserv(_dot_)classroom(_dot_)com(_dot_)  That's 
probably your
best bet.
