That's correct. '*' in a Python regular expression means "zero or
more of the preceding subexpression, in this case the letter "m" (more
precisely, the character class "[Mm]" since we set the match to be
case-insensitive).
If you want to catch the literal string "*spam*" anywhere in the
subject, you need to escape the '*' with '\' like this:
^subject:.*\*spam\*
If that's not what you want, you'll have to tell us what you do want.
