I realized it was superfluous shortly after posting. I was focusing on the
missing '.' (really, just about anything) in the OP's post. "@xyz.com"
should be sufficient, unless Mailman uses re.match() for this particular
The ban_list check uses regex and re.search iff the first char is ^ BUT the ^ is not removed so regex matching is always effectively anchored at the start of the string because it is always a single line.
So you have to match for the local-part before matching for the domain even if .* is acceptable.
Without the leading ^ the ban_list comparison done is a simple string equality test with no wildcards or such; that's what regular expressions are for.
