Default Block domain??

Been getting several spam e-mails with "close to the same" address.
I block email then go to Tool-Msg Rules-Block Sender list and modify (take
out everything on left of @).
Now I'm getting spam from "close to same address" on right side of @.
ex: & ,
etc., etc.

Here's my question- instead of leaving everything to the right of the @ what
happens if I block secure.com? And should I leave in the .com?
IOW- will everything that has "secure" in it be blocked or am I wasting my
time.

thanks for any suggestions,

You can't do what you want and it would be fruitless even if you could.
Consider "filtering in" your mail.

Start with the Address Book only rule and as you get messages you want from
people not in your Address Book, (E-mail from businesses, bills, your ISP,
etc.), you can add them to the rule.

Tools | Message Rules | Mail | New.

Box 1 - Where the From line contains people {check it}

Box 2 - Check: Delete it & Stop processing more rules if you want messages
not in the Address Book to go to Deleted Items, or you can create a Junk
folder and direct them there.

Box 3 - Click on the blue words Contains People

Click on the first address to highlight it. Scroll down to the end and hold
down the Ctrl key while you click on the last address. This will highlight
them all. Right click on them and click on From in the menu that appears.

Now click Options and Choose: Message *does not contain* the people below in
the top Options box, and choose: Message matches any one of the people below
in the bottom Options box.

OK your way out of the new rule.

Now, only addresses you entered will be downloaded to your Inbox. You will
not see any other e-mail.

Don't forget, if you add someone to your Address Book, you will have to add
them to the rule. It will not be added automatically.

Be sure to see these links for more options.
