Elton, we've looked at your system and we're working on the problem. 
We understand the issue.  The regular expressions on domain name and 
IP address work for all cases, except when you are indicating an 
exclusion with NOT.

So this is independent of whether you are filtering in the header or 
body, it is an issue with using domain names and NOT and we are 
working on a fix.

By the way, you had some filters with source and destination address 
blank.  It's always better to have an asterisk in those fields, if 
you meant to say filter on all incoming mail.  The blank could be 
problematic because then the software is looking to match a blank 
address.
