OK, I see what I'm missing now: it's the "m" vs "mx".  You're right,
getting the regex right for this one will be enough -- for now.  But
it turns out that more than one site uses m.*.com hostnames, so
you'll be back in this position some time.  I think that when writing
mail-filtering rules, it's best to be as exact as you can, not as
ambiguous as you can get away with.
