        If you need some examples to go from, I have been using the
recipies below for the past few weeks and they seem to be working just
fine to filter out Vicodin messages, maybee you should give these ones a
shot...


# do i need some Vicodin (body)?
:0B
* .*[Vv][1ilI\|][Cc][O0o][Dd][1ilI\|][Nn].*
| formail -a "Spam-Rule: Vicodin (body)" >> /var/mail/prespam

# do i need some Vicodin (subject)?
:0:
* ^Subject:.*[Vv][1ilI\|][Cc][O0o][Dd][1ilI\|][Nn].*
| formail -a "Spam-Rule: Vicodin (subject)" >> /var/mail/prespam


        Also, it's an extremely good idea to send your 'spam' to a mail
file that you can check, since they sometimes pick up valid emails. I
have a recipe that filters for other less used prescription drug names
which caught a valid email a few days ago, I would have hated to had
that sent to /dev/null

Why the heck can't I just filter out everything with vicoden
successfully.

I'm slowly coming to the conclussion that procmail is just disfunctional


I have like a 100 vicoden lines in my root procmail and user level
procmails and I STILL won;t get rid of about 30% of the subject lines 
with Vicoden in them

/etc/procmail has 

:0 iw
* ^ Subject.*Vicodin
/dev/null

./.procmailrc

:0:
* ^.*vicodin
/dev/null

:0:
* ^.*Vicodin
/dev/null
