Spam Blocking

Zummerzet — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 14:27:34 GMT

I get a ridiculous amount of emails in my Spam folder, which I know I can just delete, but I'd like to know if there's a way of blocking multiple versions of the same domain. For example, I get emails from @ABC.spam.com and @bcd.spam.com and @CDE.spam.com etc etc, and I would like to know if there is a wildcard I can use to block @everything.spam.com because just blocking spam.com doesn't work.

Hopefully that makes sense!

Morning @Zummerzet

Thanks for coming to the community.

Our Using BT Mail's anti-spam features page has information and advice on how to block spam emails.

Thanks.

Leanne.

I have same problem with multiple versions of same basic domain. e.g @aosvh.pinterest.uk.net and @ZMortyuios.pinterest.uk.net

The question is - is there a wildcard that can be used to block these domains e.g *.pinterest.uk.net or %.pinterest.uk.net.

The BT help page on the link given in previous answer does not contain this information so a simple No or Yes with details of available wildcards would be appreciated.

Thanks.

No wildcard but you can block a domain although it is a waste of time as spammers just change the domain frequently.

Thanks for understanding the issue! From the one word reply you've received, I'm assuming there is no way of using a wildcard, which is pretty poor, in my view. But it is what it is...
