Sorry.  Stumped.  The only way I've seen that used is as a real catch-all
account, but then that's all wildcards going into ONE email address, not
regex-matching to separate accounts.

Maybe there's some kind of pre-processing regex rewriting filters that 
could happen (the way that spam-filters rewrite email to tag it),  but ya
lost me there.
