Not sure of the usage of wildcards. I have a list of blacklisted domains that I want to add wildcards to. For example, if I want to block all e-mails from acme.com including things like ns1.acme.com, which would I use this: *acme.com? Or do I need the @ like *@*acme.com? Thanks |

Rauco,
OK ... you will hate me but I would actually use the following RegEx:
((?i).+?@(.+?\.){0,2}acme.com)
This means Don't test for case, then one or more chars, then 0 or more chars+dot 0-2 times and then acme.com ... OR
The following:
Regards,
Dan S.

Nope. I don't hate you at all - I just have to find a good reference for RegEx! lol Thanks. I'll be tacking that on the front of all the blacklisted domains I have until I expand my RegEx knowledge. |

Rauco, Remember that that was not a "simple" entry but a Regular Expression and as such must hav the ( ) around the expression exactly as I show or it will break. Dan S. |

Dan - With the little I know about RegEx it seemed that the ( ) were needed but thanks for the heads up. It works great so far and I've installed Regex Coach to get me farther. Thanks again! |

This would be the BlockedFrom email blacklist. Dan |

Wouldn't it also work in the blocked domains?

It will but only if (I believe) the actual IP resolves to those names. Dan S.
