This depends on the address the spammer used, I always try to use
.abc.com if and when possible, however, some spammers send mail
using the root address.

If the spammer uses [EMAIL PROTECTED] I would then use .domain.com
since most spam addresses will show the following:

@mail1.domain1.com
@mail2.domain1.com
@mail3.domain1.com

We would use .domain1.com.  You need the dot where the name is too short
otherwise you may catch other domain names ending with domain1.com.  You
may also want to use @domain.com to be safe.  This is why I requested an
OR command for the Kill List, so it can trigger on "." OR "@" symbols.

If the spammer uses [EMAIL PROTECTED] then we just remove the spammers name
since that usually changes anyway.  The end result would be @domain2.com

So in-conclusion the best remedy would be:

@domain.com
.domain.com

to catch both types of addresses.

Just keep in mind, each web site should be checked first otherwise you
might lock out a valid ISP.  Another thing you may want to consider is
where the e-mail address is coming from, if you get e-mail from HOTMAIL
you might not want to block it.  These addresses are infamous with SPAM,
but they come from an E-MAIL Service Provider and using these addresses
would overwhelm your kill list, not to mention CPU cycles.  Plus they
don't typically use the same address over and over.
