Overview
Customers creating regular expressions (Regex) such as when adding Advanced Content Filtering Rules will sometimes need to know which language syntax MailEssentials expects for validating the regular expressions.
Information
MailEssentials uses the XRegExp version 2.0 component which is an open-source JavaScript library used by all filters that allow for regular expressions in search parameters e.g. Advanced Content Filtering. For this reason, MailEssentials expects JavaScript-based regular expressions.
