Re: Blocking by sender

I thought I had an understanding of this. perhaps I am confused:

I am trying to block all mail coming from *@boss.com

I put this in my router:
*.boss.com=error

Yet I still got mail from boss.com. Do I want:
*@boss.com=error

Or is what I am trying to do just not possible?

you probably want:

boss.com=error

Which is equivalent to:

<*@boss.com> = error

You may also want:

*.boss.com = error

Particularly if there is a real boss.com that is sending mail from various return addresses with different subdomains.
