My grasp of regex is very rudimentary at best, and I am trying to 
construct an expression that will hit every instance of these kinds of 
lines:

pool-141-154-180-187.wma.east.verizon.net

So in this instance, I would like to know how to construct the instance 
to find anything that starts with "pool" and ends with "verizon.net". I 
don't care what everything else in between might be.

Our users have been getting inundated with email purporting to be from 
my companies "support" team (which is me, btw) informing them that 
their email accounts are about to be suspended, or that their account 
details have been updated, to "please verify the details contained in 
the attached file."

I am attempting to kludge together a means to capture these messages 
before MailScanner processes them and issues warnings and just send 
them to /dev/null or something similar. They are all coming from 
Verizon's "pool".
