Looks weird to me. I thought this just got passed to egrep in which
case it should be something like:
* ^To: *first.last+marker at example.com
or
* ^To: first.last+marker at example.com (since there's usually only one
space there anyway)
I seem to be missing something here but I don't know why you wrote TO
and then the address straight behind it. It's probably case
independent but skipping the ':' and the space shouldn't work. Sorry
if I'm completely wrong here.
greets,
