Along with tons on non-advertising service domains. Like many users that
get irritated with a few domains that share a common substring in their URL,
you don't think forward as to just what is encompassed by a badly defined
match string.

No software can encompass every user's wants. There isn't enough disk space
available for all that code nor is there a computer powerful enough to run
it all. That's why Outlook and many other Microsoft products are designed
to be extensible. You could write up or find/buy a macro or add-in that
adds the extra behaviors that you want. You could employ anti-spam software
that filters your e-mails and provides for regex (regular expressions) but
you had better be careful regarding what match strings you define. In fact,
rather than match on domains, some anti-spam programs use public blacklists,
like Spamhaus and SpamCop, to identify spam sources rather than rely on
vaguely or poorly defined substrings.
I didn't post any suggestions for solutions. You posted a suggestion, not a
question.
