Yes. Probably will remain in this mode for a while.

As exposed on another post. There should be a way to define a deny/allow with 
some particular exception.( I.e deny all ".com" but not 
myfriend at heppyday.com)

It's a term which discerning capacity are involved. The previous post got this 
point up. I think to allow all ".uk" (let us say) but not "info.uk" (all 
reference are purely meant as example). Therefore if applying regex denial 
on ".info.uk" surely that doesn't match only ".uk".

Agreed with you. Simply I was supposing the regex can do negative matching.

I got into this idea, which is good, I still need a bit of thinking to code 
it. It need to remember what will be the right separator between fields, 
otherwise may cause problems with different charset.
