Why not limit it to the address part only? This feels overly complicated
anyway, to express "starts with numbers, but does not consist exclusively of
numbers". Oh, and it isn't anchored, so it matches also addresses that do not
*start* with numbers...

  From:addr =~ /^\d{2,50}\D/

What about this? Didn't read most of the thread (yet), and think about the RE
for too long... Take with some salt.
