Still, I might try this instead: uri __MG_LTD1 /\.link\b/i That should be faster and more general than the second one above, and shouldn't grab linkedin either.The problem is that it won't match URIs of the form example.link/path/to/badness which are fairly common in body URIs. Does \b match end of string? That never occurred to me. I've always used $ to do that and it certainly works as part of a URI rule.
No, \b matches the transition from a word-character (\w, [0-9a-z_]) to a non-word character (anything else, plus beginning and end of line).
