[Mimedefang] Is hyphen a valid character ??

[Stefano McGhee]

Hey all,
	Spamassassin's web site references the man page for
Mail_Spamassassin_Conf which says,

Whitelist and blacklist addresses are now file-glob-style patterns, so
friend at somewhere.com, *@isp.com, or *.domain.net will all work.

So, it is also feasible that

	*.dont-miss-this-deal.com

would also work.

Cheers,

Stefano

Dave:

You can't use wild cards with SA black/white lists, with exception of the *
before the @ symbol.

e.g.

	blacklist_from *@mail35.dont-miss-this-deal.com   IS VALID

	blacklist_from *@*.dont-miss-this-deal.com  IS NOT VALID

Cheers,

Barry
