I meant to mention that procmail has a special syntax to
cover all the cases you're trying to hit with the '(To|Cc)':

       If the regular expression contains ^TO_ it will be substituted by (^((Original-)?(Resent-)?(To|Cc|Bcc)|(X-
       Envelope|Apparently(-Resent)?)-To):(.*[^-a-zA-Z0-9_.])?), which should catch all destination specifications
       containing a specific address.

So sayeth procmailrc(5). So you could do

* !TO_jamie at curdnerds?\.com
