need help with procmail rule

I have a email acount that has procmail as the filter. I would like to
make a rule that allows only 2 possible email address to email into that
account. I would like to /dev/null everything else. I have tried a bunch
of things but nothing has been successful.

Any help would be appreciated.

/dev/null

Note that it is a space and a tab between the square brackets.

There is a complication. The mail might not be from the address it says
it is from in the "from:" header. Come back if that is a problem

Alternatively, you could use:

:0
* ! ^from:[ ]*firstaddress@example\.com
{
:0
* ! ^from:[ ]*secondaddress@somewhere\.example
/dev/null
}
