regexp help

[Savoy, Jim]

Sorry to break the thread on this (my previous message didn't go
through, so I guess this

list is being moderated now).

 

Anyway, just wanted to say that I fixed my regexp problem. I am running
an older version

of Mailman, so tried this instead:

 

  \nfrom:.*unique.name

 

and it worked!

Looks like I spoke to soon. It actually did not work. I have also tried
\n.*unique.name and that failed as well (I assumed that would just
compare
to all of the headers, as I am not sure if "from" was the one I should
be
looking at). Any ideas? (I am running mailman 2.1.5 still).

>Jim, try
from: .*@(?!.*uleth.ca)

The 'anything before the @ sign' is obvious, but the '?!.*' is to test
for possible machine names, in case they're there.

Nope. That failed. I added a "\n" to the front of this and that failed
as well. I didn't think I would have to make any accommodations for the
"machine names" though because I have given this account a very unique
name, so my goal here is just to accept the mail if that unique.name is
found in any header at all. This is why I was sure that:

\n.*unique.name

would be good enough. But it was not. I probably don't really understand
what this filter is looking for though...
