I must be missing somthing obvious, but what precisely is wrong with:

* ^From:(_dot_)*bbrown(_at_)his_domain\(_dot_)com

Errr....nothing I guess, :-) but will it pick that address up from the (now
determined to be illegal) From field which already contains another email
address *to the left* as in the following example:

procmail-admin(_at_)Lists(_dot_)RWTH-Aachen(_dot_)DE; on behalf of; 
Professional Software
Engineering [PSE-L(_at_)mail(_dot_)professional(_dot_)org]

<musing> would:
* ^From:(_dot_)*PSEL(_at_)mail(_dot_)\professional\(_dot_)org
 be plucked from that "From" field???

The problem simply stated is this, if it doesn't do it and instead slam
dunks the list traffic I get slammed myself. (not that I'm concerned, but
I'd prefer not to accidentally interrupt traffic)

DOH!!...way to test...put it in my own ~.procmailrc and see what happens!
