Hi folks,
I am trying, still, to block a number of emails in the Badmailfrom list.
Eric instigated the regex type expressions for me they entire operation
does not seem to be working.
I have some 150 addresses in the file and none of the are blocked.

Example
....@rolex\.com$
....@ozgameshop\.com$
\.yourfreeworld\.com$
eli...@gmail\.com$


The rolex one is the primary interest as it seems to get through no
matter what I do. Is it my regex expressions or does bamailfrom/
badmailto simply not work?

thanks...


To begin with, the .* at the beginning isn't needed. It will match that without the specification, as there is no ^ indicating the beginning of the string.

I'm wondering, are you looking at the correct recipient address? There are 2, one on the 'envelope' and one on the message itself. These 2 addresses don't necessarily match, and often do not with spam. On the messages that are getting though, take a look at the "Delivered To:" header. This is the address that badmailfrom will filter.

Is that perhaps the problem you're having?
