That's dangerous.  In some cases you might delete someone you didn't
intend to delete with that construction.  I admit we're probably talking
extreme cases, but the fact remains that a delete for joe@*soft.com would
not only delete [log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask], but also [log in to unmask],
[log in to unmask], et cetera ad nauseum...when you do that sort of wildcard
delete you might want to try it with the (TEST option first.
