procmail was working just fine when ... used as a Local Delivery
Agent ... with only 30 employees.  now ... implemented as a
gateway ... with a volume of over 20,000 emails/day getting a lot
of false filtering

ONE EXAMPLE:

procmail: Match on "^From:.*Free Money|JDR Direct Offers|Web 
Hosting|Channels|Fr
ee Recruitment|Equalamail|Money Maker|Shirts 
Express|Lifestyle|SpecialOffers|Aut
o Financing|downloads|PennyHaven|SmallCap|Scholarships|Payment 
Center|FoundMoney
|MonsterHut|Joke|Child Support|EMailHello|TopOffers|Free 
Stuff|uBid|GetRichNow|M
yPre|Sweet"
...
the word sweet only appears in the SUBJECT of the email
the rest of the email is blank.


based on the example alone, i would suggest first (well, only thing
i could suggest) that you use parentheses around the regex,
something like...

* ^From:.*(free money|jdr direct offers ... uBid|GetRichNow)

...then try again and keep fingers crossed ... somebody else
may have better idea(s).
