RE: Simple rule is not working

Thanks, right now, based on what I read on the list I am looking at the
^Sender: field and it is working. Sometimes it is the simple things bite
you in the butt. I am a MS Junkie that is transitioning my corporate
infrastructure to Open Source and I find that the MS mindset is often my
worst enemy from understanding things.

is what I use.

The From: header doesn't contain "procmail-admin" on any messages I 
see, so that would explain the match failing.  You are seeing "From 
procmail-admin" which is not the same as "From:"

As I understand it, List-ID is a better header to match on, if present, 
because the originating email address might change

The email address could easily change to "listserver" or 
"procmail-sender" or "lksedhjs.23" at random times.
