Re: extracting RE arguments from the matching string

At 00:41 2002-05-10 +0100, Giles Constant did say:

1) The rule is only activated when it MATCHES a list of local parts
2) The rule only applies to emails that match the specified $sending_host
condition

Neither of which were disclosed in any way shape or form in the recipe which you provided this forum.

What I provided would do basically what you want, with the caveat that it'd be subject to someone sending a message that contains a path in that header. David's further mod would protect against that (though if the header ever contains a domain portion, you're outta luck).

3) stop flaming, luser boy.

It appears that you are unclear on the difference between flaming (which ostensibly includes name calling) and reminding people to refer to the documentation before asking questions which are in fact addressed in the docs (or as in several recent cases, aren't even a function of this list in the first place). A large number of people expect to drop in here and ask their obvious questions instead of spending 30 milliseconds looking at the manpages. If not urged repeatedly to try finding it in the manpages (or to consider reading the whole manpage before using a new tool, or check the list archives), they won't learn - they'll continue to expect other people to explain it to them every time they don't understand something because they never read the manpages.

I fail to see how ANYTHING I've written you would constitute a flame in any event.
