Could you explain to me why?

Could you explain why you don't provide a VERBATIM example of the From: 
header on the message it is failing to match?

A single space does not match:
         * multiple spaces
         * no spaces
         * tabs
         * other characters such as <brackets>

The VERBOSE=ON logging can be elightening if you actually examine your 
regexp to the text it fails to match.

        In this case the log will show you the:

procmail: No match on ...

        You will not be able to figure out what is the missing char(s).
        But I agree and repeat - if someone want help s/he must give
        more clue and info.  The header:

VERBOSE=yes
LOGABSTRACT=all
SHELL=/bin/sh

        Is must by any case.

Bye,
 Udi
