I thought I could add this line to /etc/exim/recipients.txt:

If I use *@whyme.com in recipients.txt, everything works fine, so I'm
not sure why abuse@* wouldn't work.

The wildcarding done natively for (n)wildsearch only supports
a leading asterisk.  You can use full-RE instead, but those
are marked with a leading caret.

Mind, as chapter 10 says, there's no advantage in specifying
nwildsearch for this address-list over just using the filename
as (the sole) list element.


I went with leading caret - problem solved. Thank you

Hello,

that is how nwildlsearch works, see

You can either match exactly, or "the string may begin with an
asterisk to mean “ends with", or use a regex or use a nested lookup.
"Begins with" is not listed.

^abuse@

would probably work as pattern.
