I think magnets for whole e-mail address should match the exact same address only.
For example, a magnet for 'test@example.com' should match exact 'test@example.com' but it should not match 'nottest@example.com'.
And, the domain magnet is not working as expect.
For example, a magnet for 'example.com' matches 'badexample.com' and 'example.com.jp'. This is a bug. The magnet for 'example.com' should match 'test@example.com' or 'test@sub.example.com' only.
--- Original message ---
I've recently discovered that spammers are getting
around my magnets by making their "from" email
address the same as some of my user accounts, but
adding a few characters in front. Since I magnet
some of my key user accounts (ie janedoe@mysite.com),
and spammers regularly try to use the names on your
site (harvested long ago, when we still displayed
email addresses on the site), I've now found them
sending mail "from" things like yyzjanedoe@mysite.com.
This causes the magnet to still match, and forward
through spam.
Perhaps there is a way to make a magnet match
exactly, but I haven't been able to locate it in the
documentation.
I'd like to see an "exact match" option on magnets so
that spammers can't work around them in the above-
mentioned way.
