That isn't from a SpamAssassin config, so the meaning isn't clear.  "*" is a
glob character, so could mean "anything".  In regexp "*" means 0 or more of
the thing proceeding it, which is nothing, so it's not valid regexp.  It could
also just mean the character "*".

You'd really need to look at the docs for what you're actually looking at to
find out what it means.
