Choices: Remove the caret and accept the consequence that all references to "webmail\." will be changed or determine how to re-write (pardon the pun) the rule to narrow the scope to (such as) ^http://webmail\.  (http:// at the beginning of the line).  I'm not familiar with Apache regex implementation so I can't say that it will accept the construct I supplied, hopefully someone else can speak to that.
