I don't know anything about Python's regexp library, but in Perl that would
*not* do anything close to what you want.  Square brackets [] match a single
character, and the caret ^ says match anything that *isn't* in the following
list.

I think what you're trying to do is

From: .*@(larry|moe|curly)\.duke.edu.*
