my problem: the regex above does not match a header like To: test@example.com

if i change '[0-9]{8}' to '[0-9]+' in the regex, i get a match as expected. '[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]' (eight times) also works.

why does '[0-9]{8}' not work with maildrop?

Why do you think it SHOULD work? Feel free to point out what part of the maildropfilter(8) man page describes this syntax.

should be a correct extended regex in my opinion. at least with egrep it works.

egrep is not maildrop.
