The postgres optimizer was never very good with OR clauses. That's why I
suggested the format with the regular expressions in the end of my message.
I wonder if you can get a better result by using a union:
SELECT .....
WHERE
....
AND lower(SOTRUD.EMAIL) LIKE '[EMAIL PROTECTED]%'
UNION
SELECT .....
WHERE
....
AND lower(SOTRUD.EMAIL) LIKE '[EMAIL PROTECTED]%'
...
etc.
Also try UNION ALL.
