[Mailman-Users] Header filtering regex issue

[Sibi John]

Mark that was the issue !

You are the dude, behind the dude who is behind the other dude ! Super excited that this is working again :)

Again for people that did not see the solution,  the regex needed to be ^From: .+@(?!(xxx|yyy)\.com).+

Actually, there is a problem with your regexp. header_filter_rules regexps are searched (re.search, not re.match) in multiline mode case insensitively. This your regexp will match 'from:' in other places in the headers. Try

^From: .+@(?!(xxx|yyy)\.com).+

to match only a true 'From: header.
