Is this supposed to be "match Famous OR Order"? This currently matches
"Famous AND Order".

Going by your examples, you want to catch "Famous OR Order" and place
that in Maildir/new, and all other email from this address to go to
Maildir/.Shopping/...
Try this:
# catch "famous" or "order"
:0
* ^From:.*([Ff]amous|[Oo]rder).*famous-smoke.com>$
"$HOME/Maildir/new"
# catch everything else from this sender
:0
* ^From:.*famous-smoke.com>$
"$HOME/Maildir/.Shopping/Famous Smoke/Email/"

If my assumption above is incorrect, could you paste a snippet from your
procmail log and point out what should be matching so we can have a
specific example?
