Here's a good book on regex -- not necessarily for beginners though.
But I'd give it a try anyway. It has plenty of examples.

Thank you! Looks like a good investment.
I think this is what you want to do:
:0
* ^Subject: *failure notice
* B ?? To: \/[-_(_dot_)+a-z0-9]+(_at_)[-_(_dot_)+a-z0-9]+
| echo $MATCH >> $HOME/somefile
This recipe will append an email address to 'somefile'. It will also
trash the original email message.
Thanks, I see now my original concept of \/ matching was wrong. I thought
what followed \/ was omitted from the match. I see now that it is used to
define what is matched.
It's painfully obvious I'll never understand Procmail until I get a basic
understanding of regex.
Thanks again.
