mailmate uses PCRE-like syntax for its regular expression, right ? then 
regextester.com is a nice tool for testing.

Then yours seems faulty: https://www.regextester.com/?fam=105641 (still 
matches dad and wife).

but Davids (https://www.regextester.com/?fam=105642) seems more precise 
(and actually seem to work for me in mailmate)

In any case thanks for both answers - it worked ;)
