RE: [Exim] wildcard blacklisting by HELO?

Thanks for this...your regex expressions work well; how do I use wild
card regex's?

i.e I get many HELO's in the form:

c-24-9-152-139.client.comcast.net
adsl-69-212-19-224.dsl.milwwi.ameritech.net

Using * or ? As wilcards does not seem to work for me:-

I have lines such as:
\.client\.comcast\.net
\.dsl\.*\.ameritech\.net


Obviously I am doing something wrong...?

Help appreciated.

cheers
Scott

My config snippet:

# define macro to refer in ACL REJECTHELO=/etc/exim/acls/helorejectrcpt

And, in appropriate place at RCPT ACL:

  deny condition = ${lookup
{$sender_helo_name}nwildlsearch{REJECTHELO}{yes}{no}}
       hosts   = ! +relay_from_hosts
       message = Mail is blocked: ${lookup
{$sender_helo_name}nwildlsearch{REJECTHELO}{$value}}

My REJECTHELO file contains entries like:

^\d+-\d+-\d+
^ip[0-9a-f]{8}\.speed\.planet\.nl ^h\d+n\d+fls\d+o\d+\.telia\.com
^dialup-
^user\d{1,3}\.net\d{2,3}

and so on (with corresponding message in each line, naturally).
