How to use Wildcard Expressions in My Blacklist |

There will be occasions when you want to block emails from everyone at a given domain.

To save you the time and effort of individually entering all the email addresses of all the people at a given organization or company, MailWasher Pro allows you to enter a wildcard expression.

Complete the steps below to use a wildcard expression to add a given domain to your Blacklist.

Step | Action
1 | Click in the Blacklist tab to display the Add to address list window.

2

Select the Wildcard expression radio button and enter the email address you want to add to the address list. Enter the email domain, preceded by a wildcard expression.

Use the following wildcards:

? matches any one character

* matches 0 or more unknown characters

+ matches one or more unknown characters

For example, *@spammers.com would recognize all senders from spammers.com as blacklisted.

If you are unsure that your wildcard expression is catching all the addresses you want it to, enter a test email address into the Email address to test against field and click to see if there is a match.

The Friends list takes precedence over the Blacklist, so if you have blocked a whole domain but have a friend who uses that particular domain, as long as you have entered that friends exact email address to your Friends list, it will not be blacklisted and will still have a status of Friend.
