Hi our club keeps getting spam emails from a series of emails that ends with .CO.ZA. I have blacklisted them individually but is there any way to block anything that ends with .co.za. See emails below. After the @ there are different suffixes before the .co.za.

@propertymailss.co.za,selectproperty@marketprop.co.za,lephalale@propertyinv.co.za,@propertyinv.co.za,@marketprop.co.za,potchefstroom@jivpropertydeals.co.za,@jivpropertydeals.co.za, vitastudentvillage.co.za,@affinityliving.co.za

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Currently, the blacklisting does not support wildcards, and requires the complete domain name. The main reason it works the way it does now is for speed. I am trying to avoid having to split up the black list and examine each address in it individually.

If you feel it should work differently, they please post an improvement suggestion, and if enough others also like your suggestion, I will include it in the next pass of code updates.

RoyGanga Topic Author Visitor	Thanks Steve. I fell it should include wildcard, to account for these types of situations. The email example I provided is only one of a few we received with this format, and a wild card would make it easy for us to block the entire group. As you know, spammers have a way of generating new emails every second. Thanks again for your reply and consideration for the wildcard.
