The point is that there are a couple of typos in those rules. /^postfixshrine.\org$/ The backslash should come before the period. It will actually work the other way, but it allows any character to be there rather than restricting it to a literal period. The same is true for the other '.org' domain as well. \.org = period followed by 'org' .\org = any character followed by 'org' (the backslash is ignored) -- Bowie
