Extract email address from From header

[Stephen Gran]

Hello All!
I need to extract the email address From the from header and then use
that variable in a condition. I assume there is a way to set the
acl_c0 variable the result of a regular expression that can pull the
email address out from the From header.

$h_from in the data acl. No need for a regex and a custom variable.

Cheers,

Hello!

Thank you.

However, the $header_From variable returns not only the email address
but any names associated with it. For example,
From: John Doe <***@example.com> gives John Doe <***@example.com>

I would need a regex to extract the email address.

Try $sender_address should work in most cases.

Hello!

I've managed to use the set command to give acl_c) the value of the
email address in From header but putting this line in the acl:

set acl_c0 = ${if
match{$header_From:}{\([a-z,A-Z,\\.,\\-]+@[a-z,A-Z,\\.,\\-]+\)}{$1}}

However, I guess using the ${addresses} expansion operator would be
more conventional.
