Three-way match headache

My intention was that if the regexp included no letters, then it would be
treated as an IP-based address match pattern. Is this currently true in
the code?

Hmm, from what I can tell in RuleToRegexp, a /..../ expression is
automatically text (ie. domain check) and not IP-based,
unfortunately.
 
But it was a nice idea, though with multiple incoming mail servers
that could get to be quite a nasty regexp!
 

            Assuming Perl regexp "extended patterns" (I
            haven't tried) can be used, consider the
            following two lines in the order presented:

            From: user at domain     andFrom:
            /^(?!ip\.ad\.dr\.es)$/     no
            From: user at domain     andTo: otherdomain        
                    yes

            The regular expression in the first line
            basically says to act "no" if the message is from
            user at domain but NOT from the specified IP
            address.

            Good luck.

            user at domain and To: otherdomain   yes
