Hallo,

can I write MORE THAN ONE "exclusive sender" ?

Which character I have to take between the adresses ??

Can I take domains as "exclusive sender" ? How??

Can I take characters like * in the "exclusive sender"-address?
example: *@yahoo.de ???


thanks!

exclusive sender uses regex style matching -- use the pipe | between "or" elements (don't use a space). The dot is a wild card character, not the asterisk. There's no need to specify a wild card character at the beginning or end of an element, though.

Thank you

Sorry, but do you mean that if I write "abc.com" in the exclusive sender it would match "abc123com.net"?

Also, if a dot matches a string (instead of dot-asterisk), it's not the unix regex for sure. Can someone tell me more special characters in this kind of expressions?

Thanks!

The dot will match any single character. The asterix will match zero or more occurences of the preceding pattern. So "abc123com" will match the pattern "abc.*com" but not match the pattern "abc.com".
