After testing this a bit more I realized that anchored regexes, don't die
on '^*foo$' (the quite common case of mistaking regex for globs (especially
for filenames) - the warning is printed to the journal - but I can happily
store it (additionally the eval-block in the what/who_match never dies -
and the 'invalid regex:' does not get printed.

maybe we could improve this even further by die'ing upon a warning when
saving the regex? - then the question is if we want to add the eval+warning
code in the who/what_match subs at all (afaict this would only add 'invalid
regex:' to the same log-line.

In any case - thanks for the patch - I never took the time to find out why
some invalid-regexes cause pmg-smtp-filter to exit+respawn, and some others
don't ;)
