I'm no expert, but I recall something about a difference between testing
for ^From and ^From:. Might want to check the archives.
There are differences. OTOH, lots of spam comes from an envelope address
which differs from the From: address, and thus, a taboo wordlist that hits
both headers isn't necessarily a bad thing.
It could match other headers as well though, but no standard headers spring
to mind which start with From (besidea From_ and From:). The regexp could
be easily modified to limit matches to those two headers only:
* ^From[: ].*(wordlist)
While I rather doubt that the wordlist would include dates and such, the
format of the From_ line should be considered when expanding upon the wordlist.
