with a match-all-but its probably better to do DUNNO anyway... probably less costly on the CPU than an advanced regexp
and definately simpler but for all of our reference if you do have a particular regexp that you just want a 'match this except for that' you can also do /(?!(dontmatch1)(dontmatch2))(?=(match1)(match2))tailstring/ -----Original Message----- From: Bill Landry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 13, 2003 9:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMGate] Re: are we lazy as he says ? Yep, DUNNO let's it pass that particular test, not whitelist/deliver the message, but rather pass the message onto the remaining tests until it finds either an OK or REJECT.

OK whitelists everything (skips rest of smtp restrictions). Though the DUNNO may be more practical here. Having a hell of a time doing the regexp Thought I love the challenge /pattern/ DUNNO Man 5 access Seems similar to OK in that the access map returns "clean" But it moves on to the next restriction, whereas OK would skip reamining restrictions. ( ok = whitelist from this point on, we got a match its good) -----Original Message----- From: Bill Landry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 13, 2003 9:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMGate] Re: are we lazy as he says ?

So what we want is a regex to block all rr.com PTRs except those containing "smtp" or "biz". I tried this: /(?!(smtp.*)|(biz)).*\.rr\.com/ 554 ACL Baker test But it matches everything with rr.com. help, Tom! Len
