Hi Jamie,

that is correct.  The orig_to= attribute is always the original e- 
mail address and the to= attribute is always the  
localunixuser@hostname .  On return from our amavis host the e-mails  
are always addressed in the format to=localunixuser@hostname and does  
not contain the orig_to= attribute.

I guess the easiest way to do it would be to look for orig_to=  
conditionally in the regular expression and if doesn't find it just  
use the to= part.  The nice thing about always looking for orig_to=  
tho is that the expression never matches on e-mails coming back from  
our amavis host, as they never have an orig_to attribute,  therefore  
saving a few cpu cycles on doing the split of the username and  
comparing the domain to maildomains.

Cheers,
