Hey,

I receieve some mail from, to and cc'd-to .fi and .se addresses which i
would like to see delivered in a separate mailbox, so i made this
eximfilter:

| if $h_To: matches "@[^@]+\.(fi|se)" or
|    $h_Cc: matches "@[^@]+\.(fi|se)" or
|    $h_From: matches "@[^@]+\.(fi|se)"
| then
|     save Maildir/.vertaa/
|     finish
| endif


But it seems that the literal . in front of fi or se isn't regarded as
literal ., but as match-anything-here. For example, i receive mails like
this:

| From: bla <bla@???>
| To: foo@???, adsense@???


And they end up in the wrong mailbox because the first @ matches the @
in front of 'bar', the [^@]+ matches 'bar.tld, adse', and \.(fi|se)
matches the 'nse' part of 'adsense'. So, how can I force a literal . ?
As writing \. doesn't help and \\. doesn't work either.

I thought Exim used PCRE's :))

Regards,
Sander.
