WHY aren't you ESCAPING the dots?
Not in the habit? Lazy? Didn't see the point?
They're wildcards unless escaped.
Aha! You mean (in procmail) . = * = .* ??
(This answers a question I posted just a minute ago.) This would mean
that
* ^From(_dot_)*somebody(_at_)somewhere\(_dot_)com
could be just as well written as
* ^From(_dot_)somebody(_at_)somewhere\(_dot_)com
??
WHY don't you use MATCH and enable VERBOSE logging to see what is matching?
I already have VERBOSE logging, else I wouldn't have know the (?mis?)match
was on this particular recipe. HOWEVER, I haven't been able to talk
anyone into showing me how MATCH and \/ worked. Thanks much for the
example - I'm gonna play with this a bit.

Or, you could use maximal scoring in conjunction with verbose logging:
(see 'man procmailsc' for more information on scoring)
I'm probably not quite ready for "scoring" yet. I've seen references to
some "tutorials" and the pointer to the man pages. First I think I've got
a BUNCH of recipes to put 'escapes' into! :) Thanks, though, for the
example. Examples help me more than anything else.
Thanks a million for the response,
