If you want to filter out those mails from anybody, you don't need the first
line of the receipe (the one with the From). If there's only the "Subject:"
line in the receipe then that's all procmail will check for.
As for the second line: Your current version will also match
Subject: This is a test. (for example). Is this what you want?
An alternative way for writing that line would be:
* ^Subject:.*[tT][eE][sS][tT]
That'll definitely match all possible combinations of upper and lower case.
HTH,
Thomas
