 Topic: Reject emails starting with numbersPosted: 29 November 2004 at 12:39pm |

Can someone help me with the Regex to reject any email that starts with a number or a number of numbers. As we all know spammers make up emails and the filter is stopping them but now I'm getting a request to reject any email that starts with numbers on a certain domain. In the "Reject To" list I tried: [0-9]*@mydomain.com but it started blocking everything and I see the star is doing that. How do I specify starting with numbers @ a domain. Thanks in advance, Bob |

Close but not quite. Yes it blocks any email with a leading number but it also blocks any email with a number in it?? Example: Bob@mydomain.com was ok 1bob@mydomain.com was blocked bob1@mydomain.com was also blocked?? How do I fix that?? |

Now we aren't capturing anything? Everything works They way I read this I thought it was ONLY looking for numbers so I thought for sure 1@mydomain.com would be blocked but it went through also?
