We all got your message the first time. No, I don't know. But from a casual 
glance at the code, it should work.

conf.pm builds a list named bayes_ignore_from.

bayes.pm calls:
----
$ignore = $PMS->check_from_in_list('bayes_ignore_from')
         || $PMS->check_to_in_list('bayes_ignore_to');
----

check_from_in_list is actually implemented in EvalTests.pm:

----
sub check_from_in_list {
   my ($self,$list) = @_;
   my $list_ref = $self->{conf}{$list};
   warn "Could not find list $list" unless defined $list_ref;

   foreach my $addr (all_from_addrs $self) {
     return 1 if _check_whitelist $self $list_ref, $addr;
   }

   return 0;
}
----

_check_whitelist is the same comparison function the black and whitelists 
use, so it should work the same.

Although by looking at _check_whitelist, I wonder if it works the way the 
docs say. The docs claim it's file glob and not regex, but _check_whitelist 
looks a lot like it does a regex.

_check_whitelist does use a regexp to do the matching but the config 
parser (add_to_addrlist() and add_to_addrlist_rcvd()) only passes file 
glob style expressions.  Any other regexp style metacharacters are escaped.
