No, I did not. I know regex fairly well, and this to me looks like a bug or otherwise unintentional operation. I've commented out these lines in my BombHeader for now.

Hi Scott,
Did you ever figure this out?
I'm no regex wiz like Thomas is, but what you have appears pretty simple to me -- and I don't see anything wrong with it...
I tried

    from\:.*\_

in testRE and see it matching everything too.  I don't understand why. I know this doesn't help you with why this is happening, but figured that it would at least help to hear that you're not the only one whose system generates that result.

    I've been seeing a bunch of spam getting through my filter recently,
    and
    they all have the same thing in common: an underscore at the beginning
    of the "From" and/or "Subject" lines. This should be really easy to
    pick
    up with bombHeaderRe, but something's not working.

    Here's an example of the spam I'm seeing:

    From:_Male Health
    <support-team_0rk47mtncmz9bfpalcklzzn...@offer.market.ca
    <mailto:support-team_0rk47mtncmz9bfpalcklzzn...@offer.market.ca>>
    Subject:_Size matters and we can help

    Sometimes there is a space in between the colon and the underscore,
    usually there is not.

    Here is the regex I added to my bombHeaderRe:

    From\:.*\_=>60
    Subject\:.*\_=>60

    However, I quickly realized that this was tagging EVERY email coming
    through the server! For instance, here's an email:

    From: Readly <rea...@news.readly.com <mailto:rea...@news.readly.com>>

    And looking at mail analysis, it's being caught by this regex, even
    though there is no underscore:

    BombHeader RE: 'highest match: "(matchlength:84) From: Readly
    <readly@news.readly" with valence: 60 - PB value = 60'
    matching bombHeaderRe(file:files/bombheaderre.txt[line 188]):
    'From\:.*_'

    Any idea what's going wrong and causing this?
