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.
