Thanks - yeah, dumb misteak :)
BTW - I wasn't aware of the ~ issue - thanks.
For anyone looking to acomplish the same task, this now works for me:
:0
* SPAMRULE ?? ^^^^
* From:.*\/[.a-z0-9_]+@
* MATCH ?? ()\/[^(_at_)]+
{
:0
*$ ^To:.*$\MATCH
{ SPAMRULE="Sender and Recipient are the Same" }
}
Where the From address may be foo(_at_)bar(_dot_)com, the match will be on
"foo", not the
entire address.

If you check your handy-dandy VERBOSE log, it'll point you right to the
glaring syntax problem:
procmail: Assigning "SPAMFILE=~/spam"
procmail: Assigning "SPAMRULE"
procmail: Match on "^^^^"
procmail: Executing "formail,-z,-xFrom:"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=SENTBY=service(_at_)paypal(_dot_)com"
procmail: Opening "SENTBY=service(_at_)paypal(_dot_)com"
The above was generated by tossing your recipe into an rcfile all by its
lonesome which is included into a sandbox, then throwing a test message at
it (in this case, some arbitrary message which has been transmuted over
time to test other recipes in the same fashion).
SPAMFILE = ~/spam
FTR, Procmail doesn't comprehend "~" as home. If you want $HOME, use
it. The above is likely to cause you untold grief under some circumstances.
