SUMMARY
This article lists the rules for wildcard matching when configuring an event in the Microsoft Commercial Internet System (MCIS) 2.0 Mail SMTP service.



MORE INFORMATION
For e-mail names, the match is case-insensitive, and the pattern can be expressed as:

[@ ]

Given the sample e-mail alias, someone, and the domain name, microsoft.com, the e-mail pattern is expressed as follows

= { * or [*] [*] }

where  can be any one of the following:   *         - Any e-mail name someone  - Exact match for "someone" *someone - Any e-mail name ending with "someone", including "someone" someone* - Any e-mail name beginning with "someone", including "someone" *someone* - Any e-mail name that contains the string "someone", including "someone" If a domain is not specified, the pattern matches against any domain. Both the e-mail pattern and the domain pattern (if specified) must be matched for the rule to start. Domain patterns are expressed as:

= [*][ ]

where  can be any of the following:   *               - Any domain microsoft.com  - Exact match for "microsoft.com" *microsoft.com - Any domain ending with "microsoft.com", including "microsoft.com"
