Correct. *@* is not a regular expression. A rewrite rule with an S flag
must have a regular expression as its pattern. In Exim, regular
expressions are (mostly, and certainly here) recognized by an initial ^
character. The reason you have to use a regular expression with S is
that the text you are matching may not be a valid RFC 2821 address -
that's the whole point of the S flag, to allow you to patch up junk.
