I tried to adjust this to filter mail of the form
list-owner@list, with these lines:

elif $sender_address contains "owner" then
        if $sender_address matches "owner-([a-z0-9-]+)-outgoing@" then
                save Mail/${lc:$1}
        elif $sender_address matches "owner-([a-z0-9-]+)@" then
                save Mail/${lc:$1}
        elif $header_sender: matches "owner-([a-z0-9-]+)@" then
                save Mail/${lc:$1}
        elif $sender_address matches "([a-z0-9-]+)-owner@" then
                save Mail/${lc:$1}
        else
                save Mail/unknown
        endif


But mail with this header:

>From mailbox-owner@??? Wed Oct 30 08:59:57 2002

Return-path: <mailbox-owner@???>
Envelope-to: greg@localhost
Delivery-date: Wed, 30 Oct 2002 08:59:57 +0800
Received: from [127.0.0.1] (helo=localhost)
        by 6505.LM-1042 with esmtp (Exim 4.10)
        id H4RREV-006OAN-00
        for greg@localhost; Wed, 30 Oct 2002 08:44:55 +0800
[etc]


piped to exim -bf .forward produces this message:

    Sender taken from "From" line
    Sender    = mailbox-owner@???
    Recipient = greg@???
    Testing Exim filter file .forward


    Save message to: Mail/unknown
    Finish
    Filtering set up at least one significant delivery or other action.
    No other deliveries will occur.


Why isn't "mailbox-owner@???" matching on
"([a-z0-9-]+)-owner@"
