Drew,
I'll give this one final shot. Try this:

I think it's not catching it because the period isn't backslash

Unless there's some edge case that I'm not thinking of, adding a
backslash to escape a period will never convert a non-match into
a match. An unescaped period in an RE matches any character,
including a period. An escaped period matches only a period.
I have confirmed this. I did add the backslash but procmail is still
not matching.
Adding the backslash _does_ better represent what the OP wants
to accomplish, but the lack of it is not the cause of the RE not
matching. (I'm not sufficiently familiar with how procmail uses
REs to figure out what _is_ causing it not to match.)
True and thus I'll leave the backslash. However I have no idea what
_is_ causing it not to match either. I'm stumped.
Chances are you're 'over-specifying' what you want. take off the trailing
$, and maybe even the ''
There's _something_ in the header that is not what you 'think' it is,
which is what is causing the problem. the difficulty is -finding- what
that 'something' is.
From whatever file procmail is dumping that message into, try using a
minimal text editor (something that is *NOT* language/charset aware,
delete everything _but_ that 'From: ' line, and then use that as input
to 'od -xc' to see _exactly_ what's there.
Here is that output:
blacklamb od -xc x
000 72466d6f203a46226d61756f20736d53
F r o m : F a m o u s S m

And this procmail recipe does *not* match:
# Deliver other email to folder
:0
* ^From:.*famous-smoke\.com
${HOME}/Maildir/.Shopping/Famous Smoke/Email/
Do you see anything I'm missing?

I additionally don't like the look of your Maildir. It's quoted, you
should set MAILDIR in procmailrc, you should get rid of the space and
it should end in new. Result:
:0
* ^From:.*famous-smoke\.com
.Shopping/Famous_Smoke/new
I don't know what you're using for maildirmake but here's a script you
can adapt:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Usage: maildirmake somemaildir
mkdir $1
mkdir $1/new
mkdir $1/cur
mkdir $1/tmp
chown frank:frank $1/new
chown frank:frank $1/cur
chown frank:frank $1/tmp
chmod 700 $1
chmod 700 $1/new
chmod 700 $1/cur
chmod 700 $1/tmp
You have to run it from where you keep your maildirs i.e MAILDIR
So if you have your maildirs in Mail:
$ cd ~/Mail
$ mkdir .Shopping
$ cd .Shopping
$ maildirmake Famous_Smoke
For your ref, here's my procmailrc
PATH=/usr/local/bin
SHELL=/bin/sh
ORGMAIL=$HOME/Maildir/new
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
VERBOSE=on
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/new

Drew, try this:

I think it's not catching it because the period isn't backslash

there will screw up your re.
