Indeed indeed. I sent myself an email and (once it arrived) went to
/mail/cur/ to modify its from header, which now is:

    From: "phoney bologna bolognapho...@hotmail.com [bademails]" 
<badema...@yahoogroups.com>

<limit>~f bolognapho...@hotmail.com works, as does
score "~f bolognapho...@hotmail.com" -40

I stress that scoring *additive*, so if you have a +100 rule that matches
(among others) bolognapho...@hotmail.com, that will offset your malus
provision.

The correct way to debug this is probably:

    1. try at first a simple limit (type l and then your mail
       address) to check whether matching works

    2. if 1. succeeds, provide a minimal working scores.rc file
