I have modified my rule to honor both the From_ and From: line. It is
the From: I am talking about; if I do not tell my mailer to explicitly
dump the headers it writes the 'From: ' as 'From '.
The rule:
[...]
SPACE =' '
TAB =' '
WS =$SPACE$TAB
[...]

Two problems:
1) You're trying to look for:
- beginning of line
- "From"
- an arbitrary number of whitespace characters
- "root(_at_)rudun-nbmaster001(_dot_)cc1(_dot_)rush(_dot_)edu"
If you really want to check the "From:" line, that simply doesn't
match: there's a colon and a "root on nbmaster001" in there, not just
whitespace. Likewise for the Subject line that also has a colon.
2) For the "From " line, that would indeed work, but there's a catch in
procmail recipe syntax: "$" by default has its regexp meaning "end of
line" instead of "here's a variable", so in fact "[$WS]" doesn't check
for whitespace, but for either end of line, "W" or "S". You need an
additional "$" in front of the condition line to change that behavior:
* $ ^From[$WS]*root(_at_)rudun-nbmaster002\(_dot_)cc1\(_dot_)rush\(_dot_)edu
should deal properly with the "From " line.
For the "From:" line, something like
* ^From:.*<root(_at_)rudun-nbmaster002\(_dot_)cc1\(_dot_)rush\(_dot_)edu>
should do just fine too, though.
