Or could we meet user expectations (real users, not geeks), and just
interpret * and ? (for example) as being regexp values, as well as
letting power users use more complicated regexps?
Essentially the two classes:
Simples:
*@mail.ru
*@*mail.ru
[email protected]
Power-user:
^.*\+.*?\d{3,}@
\.*j\.*o\.*e\.*b\.*l\.*o\.*w\.*+.*@gmail\.com
and the sort we saw in the threads around bot subscriptions and
regexps on Mailman-user?
Off the top of my head, the syntax would define if it's an absolute
address ([email protected]) vs a regexp.
