Problem with user-specific filename rules

I tried to, but somehow this caused all mail to be sent through the
default rule... here's the setup I had entered:

#  Block more securely for mails to internal users
From:   /^?!theuser at domain.de$/ and To: @domain.de           
/etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf
From:   /^?!theuser at domain.de$/ and To: @domain.de              
/etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf

# Default - Somewhat less secure, allowing e.g. .docm etc.
To:     default         /etc/MailScanner/filename.toexternal-rules.conf

As a result, all mails were let through using the more relaxed rules
set. I tried altering the regexp pattern based on doing some tests,
changing it to e.g. /^(?!(theuser at domain.de))$/ (which at least was
accepted by the regexp tester I used), but it still didn't seem to match
any sender ... am I missing something here?



Thanks, Garry
