Outlook 2003: Wild cards in Blocked Senders List?

[Fred Schreck]

Hello:

I'm wondering if it's possible to use wild cards in the Blocked Senders
list.

I get junk mail from addresses with slightly different "domains", such as:

(e-mail address removed)
(e-mail address removed)
(e-mail address removed)

etc....

Is it possible to use the following syntax?

@*.domain.com



Thanks,

No. you can block domains (right side of the @) but not wildcard them.

@*.domain.com

Just use "domain.com"

OL adds the @ sign to it - and it will only work on @domain.com mail. You
have to add @1.domain.com, @2.domain.com etc.

If the poster is the Exchange admin and he wants to block addresses for
domains for all users, Exchange server supports wildcarding.
