help!! .procmailrc can't handle long recipes!!

Hi all...
well, so far so good, procmail seems to be following .promailrc's
instructions...then i added more recipes to .procmailrc until it reached
this:

".procmailrc" 81 lines, 1349 characters

then i started having problem...my second last recipe in the .procmailrc
file is :

:0                              
* ^From(_dot_)*mcm(_at_)kym(_dot_)edu(_dot_)my
majordomo

i tried to send an email FROM 
mcm(_at_)kym(_dot_)edu(_dot_)my(_dot_)(_dot_)(_dot_)procmail should have
filtered this email into folder majordomo, but it didnt! Then i send some
emails from other recipes (addresses) that i have specified in .procmailrc
...just to make sure.These didnt make it into folder majordomo too, even
though i specified it so in .procmailrc. I noticed that only the recipes
near the top worked, they got filtered into the folder. The ones near the
end didnt. So i have reached the conclusion that .procmailrc cant handle
far too long recipes. Is that right?? How can i fix this?? I want to
filter all my mailing lists (all 30 of them) using procmail, but i dont
think .procmailrc can take it.And one more thing ,if i have , like, 30
addresses to filter in .procmailrc, is there an easier way than typing:

:0                                                                 
* ^From(_dot_)*example(_at_)kym(_dot_)edu(_dot_)my 
majordomo

for each of the addresses?? This makes my .procmailrc too long.Can
somebody gimme a hint? THANKS!!
