Will wildcards work ?

No. Wildcards are not supported. The blocked sender list is only useful for
blocking mail from specific annoying senders - like a former friend or a
newsletter you can't get unsubscribed from.

You can block domains and sometimes the domains have 3-5 entries. How can you
block domains then?

thanks

To me that doesn't make any sense. When you have spam like the following,
", it would be so easy to
input *@*haapavesi*.*

using the blocked senders list makes no sense - most spam is sent from a
different address every time making blocking addresses pointless. The safe
and blocked lists can hold a total of about 2000 addresses between them -
you could easily fill it up in a day or two by blocking addresses and
domains. It's better to set junk email to high and add addresses to the safe
list. The blocked list should have just a few addresses on it, many times
fewer than the safe lists.

if outlooks filters aren't meeting your needs, get a better filter - one of
the best is spambayes and it's free. Links to this and other programs are at

Not only that but you should be able to tag multiple spam emails and send
them to the "blocked senders" list.
