Yours as they are should be OK. As far as the regexp goes, I prefer
that, but it should be

/[@.]example\.com$/

things like '.' lose their special meaning inside a character class and
shouldn't be escaped.

Where are you referencing these rules? It is possible that the rule is
fine, but the setting you are applying it to is not the correct one to
do what you want
