There were 2 diffs in my recipe.  I was using :0, not :0:, and I was doing an 
escape \. for the first period.  But because they are now inserting the users 
name in dot separated format, it wasn't hitting at all.  Now modified.  
Thanks Joanne.

Here is a rule that never hits:
:0
* ^.*no To-header on input
/dev/null

But here is one that fires several times a day:
:0
* !^To
/dev/null

At 5:30 am Monday morning, over 200 spams have been sent to my version of 
spam hell, /dev/null.  Most from SA ratings of ***** or more.
