Milter-greylist

Hiya,

We've been testing the milter-greylist for a while now and found it to be 
excellent.  However we noticed that when we do something like this:

acl greylist rcpt andyb@...

It seems to greylist andyb@... *and* randyb@... (or any 
other user that contains andyb@... in their address).

I've tried this type:

acl greylist rcpt /andyb@.*/

And that still gets randyb@.*

This seems to break greylisting on both andyb@ and all of the randyb@, 
etc.

acl greplist rcpt /^andyb@.*/

(My guess is in this example the ^ is being interpreted as a real 
character not a regex special character.

Any ideas?

This should work. I use it at mine. Does it match andyb, randyb, both or
none?

I also work  with this system. I'm actually the andyb that he is
talking about. 

When we put the ^ symbol in, it doesn't match anything.

Err... I realise it's not good, after all:
/^andyb@.*/ might be better

I think that was a typo, we did actually mean /^andyb@.*/

I think I figured this one out. /<andyb@.*>/ will match andyb@
anything, but not randyb@.* The string that these regex are trying to
match to has the <>'s with them, coming from sendmail.
