A few comments.
1. By delivering to DEFAULT from /etc/procmailrc you are not allowing
your users to have their own .procmailrc do any further sorting of
matching messages. Maybe this is not a problem.
2. You should not rely on the assumption that spammers will not
manage to figure out how to forge in a header which lets them get
in. Maybe your MTA already is configured with such checks, and
will reject any obvious forgeries. More power to you in that case.
For many of us, the reverse is true: if the spammer forges in an
incomplete From: header like
From: phred <phred>
then the MTA will "helpfully" fill in the missing information --
with its own FQDN:
From: phred <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
3. Yes, your rules can be refined a bit.
Ignoring point #2, try this:
:0fw
* ! ^From.*@([^ <> .]+\.)*rose-hulman\.edu\>
| spamc -options ...
If you want to add more conditions, you can do that:
:0fw
* ! ^From.*@([^ <> .]+\.)*rose-hulman\.edu\>
* ! ^From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
| spamc -options ...
Oh, and finally
4. This is not the Procmail list
Hope this helps,
