Currently, if you right-click a post and select "add domain to blacklist," the entire top domain, as well as the subdomain, are added (ie: subdomain.domain.com). Is there a quick way or feature that will perform the same right click add that will add only the top domain? The reason I ask is that many spammers use rotating subdomains. If I were able to simply right-click and add only the top domain, it would blacklist any subdomains that are being used with the original top domain.
Thanks for clarifying...

Re: Add domain to blacklist, not subdomain also
Sorry but no, currently no way to do this via right click or any shortcut unfortunately, (good suggestion though!) however you can create a wildcard for this....
To do this, click Settings>>Spam Tools>>Blacklist, select, "Wildcard Expression" and type in the below as per your example, if the address was:
user@subdomain.domain.com
You would add:
*domain.com
And click Add.

Re: Add domain to blacklist, not subdomain also
In addition to what gingbat has mentioned, another optional way of doing it would be to:—
(Navigate to) Spam Tools >> (select the blacklisted sub-domain,) user@subdomain.domain.com >> Edit >> (delete the sub-domain portion until it becomes a domain) user@domain.com >> Save.
Though, they empower you with options — these are merely workarounds.

Too bad this is not a normal feature. The use of subdomains is increasing in my opinion. Not sure if the mailwasher staff ever read these posts, but adding this ability on a right-click basis, in my opinion, would be a much-appreciated added feature.

Re: Add domain to blacklist, not subdomain also
Can this get moved to the top of the list, Please?
This seems to be a pretty simple change. When you click Add Domain to Blacklist, having Mailwasher add *. to the beginning of the entry going into the Blacklist automatically - (prepend). I'm seeing massive amounts of spam coming into my mailbox every day with rotating subdomains. This forces me to do this manually, which is ok once in a while. But doing it every day its becoming annoying as hell. Especially since a fair portion those emails aren't being flagged as spam and instead are unknown.

Re: Add domain to blacklist, not subdomain also
Quite simply the software offers adding a domain to the blacklist.
Quality assurance should pick up that the software is not doing what it specifies if the subdomain component is added with the main domain. As a previous writer has said, rolling subdomain variations are a pain in the neck.
My workaround is editing one entry to *.domain in the blacklist and deleting the others. Simple but it would be nice if the program did the job automatically. If I select the 'black' option button on a coffee machine, I would not be pleased to get a latte.
