<p>Hi,</p>
<p>The syntax you are looking for is *.domain.com --the dot will get
rid of those subdomains.<br>
</p>
<p>In many cases you have to look at the headers rather than the
address presented in the e-mail client to find out what the real
sending domain was.</p>
<p>SPAM Assassin settings below 5 really clobber a lot of legitimate
e-mail.</p>
<p>I worked for a few years as the Senior Systems Engineer for an
ISP and once you get to this level of attack you may need to
resort to blocking them by IP at your firewall.</p>
<p>Good luck,</p>
<p>Garrett<br>

<div>Hello!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have a question about SPAM Assassin and hoping maybe I can
find some help here.</div>
<div>My inbox is getting bombed with SPAM right now -- so bad that
I've had to set the SPAM Assassin Threshold Score to 1 and am
still getting 40-60 emails a day that are slipping through.</div>
<div>I've attempted to also blacklist the domains that are
consistently sneaking through but don't think I have those set
correctly. I'm hoping someone here can offer some insight.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Most of these spammers are using sub-domains such as,
m.domain.com, so I've been setting the domain in the blacklist
filter like this:</div>
<div>*domain.com</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Shouldn't that cover any and all traffic from the specified
domain?</div>
<div><br>
