Blocking messages for all sub-domains of an e-mail domain name

Is there any way, using Oulook 2003's Junk E-mail filter to block all
e-mails from all subdomains of a given domain? For example,
*.fyi-consumer.com. As it stands, it looks like I can only block complete
domains, i.e., everything to the right of @ has to be just as I've entered
it. Wildcards don't seem to work.

Here's the history, if that helps you understand the question: Recently I
went through my Blocked Senders List and deleted most of the users names and
subdomains. For example, if the entry was (e-mail address removed)-consumer.com, I
deleted everything but fyi-consumer.com. The next time I looked, Outlook had
put @ in front of all the domain names, so that now I had, in my example,
@fyi-consumer.com. Thus, emails from mx10.fyi-consumer.com were getting
through again. I tried adding wildcards to everything, which resulted in
@*fyi-consumer.com, but I don't think that's working either. Any ideas?

Is there any solution to this problem?

Correct. Wildcards are supported in the Blocked Senders list. The best you
can do is to create a rule that will search the headers for "fyi-consumer"
and delete (or move to Junk E-mail) the messeges that contain that string.
 
Thanks. Is there anyway to import a list of domains into a rule without
having to type them all in?

I don't know of any way, other than copy-and-paste (CTRL-C/CTRL-V) one at a
time.
