Wouldn't that rule above discard all emails ?
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. -- Randomly Selected Tagline: "the curls in your keyboard cord are losing electricity." - Today's BOFH Excuse
