Certainly.  I assumed -- perhaps incorrectly -- that you were providing
an understandable expression that a person could use to see your address
but which would be useless to spam address trolling software; after all,
you certainly couldn't send to "^ejg(-.*)?@ar\.homelinux\.org$", right?
I wondered, though, if all of the junk in front of the @ might get eaten
anyway and so all that would remain would be the "ar\.homelinux\.org$",
and that might quickly simplify down to a usable domain.  If you added
the "(.invalid|) expression at the end, though, which says to either see
nothing or ".invalid" after .org, then it certainly wouldn't be usable as
a simple string.

Of course, if you weren't thinking about spam blocking, then all of this
is moot :-)
