Drew, try this:

Unless there's some edge case that I'm not thinking of, adding a
backslash to escape a period will never convert a non-match into
a match. An unescaped period in an RE matches any character,
including a period. An escaped period matches only a period.
I have confirmed this. I did add the backslash but procmail is still
not matching.
Adding the backslash _does_ better represent what the OP wants
to accomplish, but the lack of it is not the cause of the RE not
matching. (I'm not sufficiently familiar with how procmail uses
REs to figure out what _is_ causing it not to match.)
True and thus I'll leave the backslash. However I have no idea what
_is_ causing it not to match either. I'm stumped.
Thanks,
Drew
