Yep. The asterisks are the bullets of a bulleted list and /not/ part of the regexp. Sorry, if my formatting was unclear in that respect. > The regexp '^(OK|WARN|CRIT|UP|DOWN) ->' should match, e.g. > Subject: OK -> anything That's exactly what I want to achieve. But this doesn't seem to work, as these mails are /not/ added to the respective topic. > > I also didn't find any reference documentation regarding the supported > > regular expression syntax.

Don't tell me :-). But we can't influence that.
