I read somewhere that the ".*" is not necessary after the TO_ token.
Not so, contrary to popular belief.  For example,
^TO_mindfuq(_at_)spamgourmet(_dot_)com fails to match the following cases:

myrebate(_dot_)1(_dot_)mindfuq(_at_)spamgourmet(_dot_)com
techhelp(_dot_)8(_dot_)mindfuq(_at_)spamgourmet(_dot_)com
contest(_dot_)2(_dot_)mindfuq(_at_)spamgourmet(_dot_)com

This is because TO_ specifically excludes punctuation that appears
prior to the username.. So I'm reverting from "^TO_" to "^TO_.*".



Doesn't spam gourmet forward mail so that you use

^TO_theaddressespamgourmetforwordsto(_at_)example(_dot_)com


I don't really remember because I haven't received a spamgourmet
message for a long time but I have such a recipe set up.
