That's *more* restrictive, not less.
Rick, if you've been using "users@spamassassin.apache.org" try using *...@spamassassin.apache.org instead. If you've got envelope FROM headers added (ie: Return-Path), this should match them. The return-path for this list is of the general format: users-return-86375-mkettler_sa=verizon....@spamassassin.apache.org If that doesn't work I really would try to get your system to pass this info into the headers, as several rules can't work properly without it (ie: SPF). MDA layer processing in procmail and the like is rarely a problem, but MTA layer calls often occur before this is added. It is common for MTA layer integration tools to do this for you by adding a dummy Return-Path header, but if you've just added a spamc call directly into one of your MTA's config files, this problem usually shows.
