No. The [Xx] specifies there must be one, and only one, x. A * after that
would make that "zero or more" making the x entirely optional. Thus "sent"
matches, as would "sex" and "sexxxxxxx". A .* at the end of the expression
might seem to make sense at first, but procmail already assumes it, thus
adding it in is redundant.
