I am needing a way to block top level domains?

Sun Dec 24, 2017 2:02 pm

Hello,

My mom gets alot of junk emails as you see by the image attached from domains like .win .xyz .im, .fr, .ru etc...

How about ones like these in this picture? ( Sometimes they dont come in as .xyz) just MX(number)...... https://imgur.com/a/blVor

I am needing to know is there a way to block those top level domains and that MX crap.

Thank you,
Chris
Thanks and take care,

So assuming no legitimate email is received on these TLDs. The quickest way would be to add some entries to the Blacklist as wildcard expressions. You'll want to add them manually and be sure wildcard expression is selected when adding.

For example to catch those in your first screenshot...
*@*.im
*@*.biz
*@*.ro

To catch all the MX ones you could use
*@mx*

Though that would catch something like emailaddress@mxhelp.com as well, but I'm not sure that's going to be an issue.

Thank you so much I added the :
*@*.im
*@*.biz
*@*.ro
*@*.xyz

to her list... I will see if that helps any!


On the MX I dont want to block out any domains that might have like mxdomain.com
Just the afdsasd@mx1.xxx.xxx

The .mx1 .mx2 parts.

Thanks,
Chris

OK, the more detailed way would be then to add each, that should ensure less chances for any errors...
e.g.
*@mx0.*
*@mx1.*
*@mx2.*
*@mx3.*
*@mx4.*
*@mx5.*

and so on...
