Ugh, see below.


The output to my procmaillog shows

Does that look correct?
Yes, it's very rare to have a From: line with no white space or
comment
between the From: and the address.  Try this:

:0
* 
^From:.*(susanmay21(_at_)iinet(_dot_)net(_dot_)au|billh(_at_)marsjourney(_dot_)info|mail@cchase
harwood.com|barry(_at_)barryjhutchison(_dot_)com|blake(_at_)blakebrivers(_dot_)com|help@boo

If you do a lot of this, you may need to make LINEBUF bigger.  I have
patterns like this that are over 4000 characters long and they work
fine.

Thanks John, I see now what you did. By putting the addresses in braces
separated by a pipe it's still essentially what I have only neater and
procmail will still go through each address until it gets a hit.

Thanks so much for the help
