Try
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Not knowing anything about mailman's use of these values:
The "^.*something" regex is equivalent to just "something".
"^.*" is useless, confusing and should never be used in a regex for the regex libraries with which I am familiar.
The regex says, and will only be true if:
^ match at start of email address string
.* match any string i.e.any alias
@ match a following @ character
xyz.com match a given mail domain. Actually, this would be better as xyz\.com so that a literal period was matched rather than any character between the xyz and com substrings matching.
So what is wrong with that.
Personally I would have said the following to tighten up the specification but that is just my prejudices:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@xyz\.com$
