I get many emails addressed to internal sendmail <id>'s.
 123...@mydomain
 1abd56.ef7...@mydomain


(seem to fit a basic pattern but don't know how to specify the
pattern (or I don't have it right):
 <(start of an email-address)>[0-9][0-9a-fa-f\....@mydomain

by start of an email, addr, I mean inside or outside literal '<>'.
I try matching to '<' as a start char to look for anything starting
with a number, but that fails if they don't use the "name <x...@yy>"
format, but just use "x...@yy".  Don't know how to root at beginning
of any email address looking thing.

I know the pattern matcher in the userprefs file is primitive though
-- like DOS level file matching, so I don't know how to write
it in userprefs...

any hints would be appreciated...
running slightly older SA 3.1.7 on perl 5.8.8....

intending to update ... eventually but don't know that this would
solve any pattern help....

Thanks,
