Bye Don.
I would like to enhance my mail filter to remove all messages from a set

I would like to further filter out any responses to messages from other
posters.

Don't do that, finishing anything with "any string at all" anchored to
"end of line" is a waste of time. Comparison stops when the pattern
mismatches, or when the pattern runs out, which gives a match. Same as
sed, grep, and everything else.

If the message is sent cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and my rule is (to|cc)*.:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
