Generally:
^ means 'start of line', $ means 'end of line'
but whitelist_from used globbing, and I don't think you can use those
anchors there. are the emaisl comming in without a tld (1...@example and
not 1...@example.com)?

All with a tld, but two forms, am trying to catch:
from: 11234.2a...@somedomain.tld (or)
from: larry <11234.2a...@somedomain.tld>
any hints would be appreciated...
running slightly older SA 3.1.7 on perl 5.8.8....

Slightly? No, that's ancient (2.5 years!!).

Sometimes I understate, sometimes overstate. Hard to tell by
"dot." name unless one has been paying attention on all their products.
I guess it is difficult to tell by the version-dot number.
Seriously, if there is
only one thing you keep updated on your mailserver, it needs to be
SpamAssassin.

Good to know, was doing better. But got out of sync
when I couldn't get perl-libs to update cleaning during some perl
version update. Between updating:
- Perl versions...
- Distro RPM versions,
- CPAN module versions.
-* requirements of SW dependent on Perl modules....
(i.e. SpamAssassin)
...one thing leads to another...and before you know it
(up to butt in alligators?)... :-)
Tnx,
