Why not just upload a text file containing spammer addresses and use a
single procmail rule to grep the file for the incoming mail address?  Then
you only need to keep the text file updated and you don't need to keep
creating massive procmailrcs.

SPAMMERS=/home/.spammers
SPAM=/home/Maildir/.spambox

# check against my blacklist
:0:
* ? ( formail -x From: -x Sender: -x Reply-To: -x Received: | fgrep -iqf $SPAMMERS)
$SPAM
