Checking my mail the next morning it is still not being filtered

VERBOSE=on

Once set ON, it's ON until it is set OFF - it isn't a per-rule setting (though there have been times where I thought it'd be useful to have a flag...).

(I will replace those two with the commented out one once the dust
settles.  Thanks for the code snippet, Dallman.)

The logfile:

>From root(_at_)rudun-nbmaster002(_dot_)cc1(_dot_)rush(_dot_)edu Tue Feb 10 
08:00:08 2009

I trust THIS isn't what you're trying to match with:

* ^From:(_dot_)root(_at_)rudun-nbmaster001(_dot_)cc1(_dot_)rush(_dot_)edu

Because the condition you have is looking to match a From: header, not the Envelope -- the line you see above in the log doesn't have a colon in it.

procmail: No match on 
"^From:(_dot_)root(_at_)rudun-nbmaster002(_dot_)cc1(_dot_)rush(_dot_)edu"
procmail: Assigning "VERBOSE=on"
procmail: No match on 
"^From:(_dot_)root(_at_)rudun-nbmaster001(_dot_)cc1(_dot_)rush(_dot_)edu"

So, perhaps you need to show the From: header field of an actual message for us to evaluate?

You should follow the link in my .sig and check out the "sandbox" system I have. You do NOT need to wait until tomorrow to test your recipe - just take the saved email and pass it into a test rig for procmail.
