[MBF] Re: PRE-Test filter change

[David Barker]

All these examples hit .+k12\.[a-z]{2}\.us the regex101.com tester seems 
to stop at the first match.  The PRE-TESTED.txt filter has been updated. 
Having the MAILFROM checked should be sufficient.

Let me know if we need to revisit.

Looking at it I think a new line should be added
# Match K12 district addresses
MAILFROM    END    PCRE (?i:@([a-z0-9---_]*\.k12\.[a-z]{2})\.us)
What I can not get to match is:
u...@sub.domain.k12.st.us <mailto:u...@sub.domain.k12.st.us>
u...@sub.sub.domain.k12.st.us <mailto:u...@sub.sub.domain.k12.st.us>
Also would it make sense to add this line?
REVDNS        END    PCRE (?i:([a-z0-9---_]*\.k12\.[a-z]{2})\.us)

Would I be missing anything if we updated it as:

.+k12\.[a-z]{2}\.us

If you have some email addresses structures I can verify this against 
that would be great I can update it now.

(?i:@(mta|notify|alert|response|mail|noreply|list|send|bounce|news|shop|List-Unsubscribe|k12|notif|store|state|relay|envfrm)\.)
to

This would allow school addresses to bypass this filter (I am getting 
a LOT that are directed to to the Junkmail folder) as the MAILFROM 20 
hit most legitimate school email addresses.
I am not aware of any users with an @k12 address,
