What is the HTML source for that piece? ngx_replace_filter only works
on the HTML source level for web pages. It never tries to understand
or parse the HTML stuffs.

One obvious mistake in your regex is the use of unescaped parentheses
because parenthese are special meta characters for submatch capturing.
I think you probably mean just this
replace_filter
'[-.\w]+@([-.\w]+\.)+(?:com|us|cn|org|net|name|info)' '[email hidden]'
g;
This regex for email addresses here is not all-inclusive. If you
really want to include the " (logout)" context in your regex, just
ensure you include its corresponding HTML source snippet in your regex
(and also ensure it is properly escaped according to the regex
syntax).
