This line will includes strings like: From:Hello
hellosusanmay21(_at_)iinet(_dot_)net(_dot_)au
it is not what Chris asked for.

In my case I believe that either would work. It's just that with this
* 2147483647^0 $ ^From:${ws}ads@adstarrling\.com procmail is not
checking for another string in front of the senders address. I imagine
that if I wanted to for authors that have their own domains such as the
one above I could use
* 2147483647^0 $ ^From:${ws}.*@adstarrling\.com
though I may be wrong since I'm definitely not a procmail guru, not
even close.

where ${ws} is folded whitespace, (the characters between the block
braces are a tab character, hex 09, followed by a space character,
hex
20).
The '.' (period character,) should be escaped, otherwise in a
regular
expression, it means any character.
The email addresses you receive the most messages from should be at
the top of the recipe, (as soon as a match is found, procmail stops
the recipe search, and goes directly to the action, i.e., store the
message in ${AUTHORS}.)

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

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.
R's,
John
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
Chris
