  HOST=*
      MAIL $ADMINS COLOR=red
Wouldn't that be:

HOST=%.*
     MAIL $ADMINS COLOR=red

The reason I ask is because I am using HOST=%.*, and it seems to be 
working.  I thought it had to be a regex?
"HOST=*" is a special-case meaning "match anything". It was so simple
to implement, and obviously useful (I think), so I added that some
time ago.

Your regex will also work, and is the recommended way of doing
wildcard matches.
