[MlMt] Wrong SMTP

[John Doherty]

FWIW, the manual page is here:

<https://manual.mailmate-app.com/account_setup.html>

which says "The value used for this option must be a so-called regular 
expression." Based on that, *@example.com doesn't seem like it should 
work and would have to be .*@example.com instead, since a bare asterisk 
is not a proper regular expression (in any RE scheme I'm familiar with, 
anyway).

Empirically, though, it seems to work fine. FWIW, .* also seems to work 
fine.
