also, and this is where I'm unsure, but would you want to excape (is
that the correct term?) the periods in the address portions like the

Remember that a period means different things in regexp and in "life".  In
procmail regexp, a dot means any character (i.e. a one character wild
card) so without it, the match would work on abcanet, or abcbnet ... or
even abc.net, I believe.

While you are at it ^TO will only catch the TO: header, whereas TO_ would
also catch Resent-to, Apparently-to, etc., so it is probably the better
one to use.  (NB: TO_ was only implemented in the newer versions of
procmail, I believe in 3.11 or higher, so make sure which version you are
using.)
