The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Ward, Michael" <address@concealed>]

Thank you - being a relative newbie to perl programming, I'm not big on
regular expressions :-). Have updated it as suggested, works now.

Part of my problem too was that I didn't realise I had to click the
'update list configuration' button on the 'Edit List Configuration' page
every time I updated a scenari file (is this normal? seems odd). This
resulted in a frustrating few hours trying to figure out why something
that had worked previously no longer appeared to work!

Regards,
Michael Ward

with that RE your only matching an address that _doesnt_ have a user
name 
part (The '^' matches the beginning of the string your evaluating)- you 
need to match the whole address like so :
^(.*@massey\.ac\.nz)$
