Three points I would add:

1) I would replace the regexp by '^offers?@' - this avoids rejects for
(e.g.) 'coffers', 'toffers', or whatever :-) Unless you want to block
just anything ending with 'offers?'.
2) To be recognised as a regexp it has to start with '^' - as far as I
remember.
3) I see little point in the '.*' on the end of the regexp.
