{{note box|Defining a mail rule that includes characters such as "'''<nowiki>[ $ . | \{ ^ + ? ( \</nowiki>''' " breaks the sort rules and standard mail deliveray in general. It is necessary to escape these special characters in the mail rules so that the sort rules work correctly. Special characters can be entered but you must verify they do not break mail deliver and work as expected. It is recommended you only use alphanumeric, @ and spaces.}}

The rule fields are in fact regular expressions compatible with egrep. As a result the above cited characters are interpreted as structure of the language. Refer to "man egrep" for correct syntax. Also please note that that character "|" (pipe) is the default character used to separate fields in the internal database, so it is forbidden.
