I am unable to comprehend this kind of mentality. If I post on a public forum asking for help, it is because I don't know what I did wrong, and I want someone to tell me what it was. I did that for you, and you are angry about it. > any explanations or any documentation. U don't have time, fine, > don't waste mine not answering. Likewise, this is beyond me. I had a busy day, but took a few minutes to reply and show you serious errors in your regular expressions. How is that "not answering?" Why should unpaid volunteers on a mailing list be concerned about your time? It should be the inverse: people asking questions should be thankful for what they get. If you want more, hire someone. (No, not me.) http://sweet.nodns4.us/ I gave you specific regular expression terms to look up in regexp documentation. This being the Postfix list, if there is a Postfix issue, usually I will take the time to post the relevant links to Postfix documentation. Not knowing what regexp metacharacters mean and do, or how to anchor an expression: these are not Postfix questions. I guess we are in different worlds. Enough said. Apologies to the list for the noise, but I suspect I am not alone in my feelings. EOT, followups will be ignored. -- http://rob0.nodns4.us/ -- system administration and consulting Offlist GMX mail is seen only if "/dev/rob0" is in the Subject:
