Assuming Kmail uses PCRE and not Posix regex, you can match the first chunk with: lfd on srv\d\d\.srv\d\d-inet-design\.com and the second with: \) blocked for port scanning$ (the $ confines that portion of the match to the end of the string). If I were trying to match the entire line, I'd probably use something like: ^[^a-z]*lfd on srv\d\d\.srv\d\d-inet-design\.com: \d\d?\d?\.\d\d?\d?\.\d\d?\d?\.\d\d?\d? \([^\)]+\) blocked for port scanning$ Are there other messages about "blocked for port scanning" that you need to be sure you receive? If not, I'd just do a subject-contains filter using that string and forget about the regex. (I use regexes a lot in my day job, so I'm the last person to ask about gentle introductions to the topic—I usually go straight to the perlre manpage if there's something I need to look up.) E.
