creating email filters
I would like to know if it is possible to create email filters using wildcards. I know that you can key in on if specific words are on the subject line, but I would like to use wildcards to filter items coming from domains. As an example:
senders address: [Edited: "Personal Information"]re.com . The information prior to the "@" may change into anything, as well as anything after the "@", with "store.com" always being the same. I would like to be able to use the wildcard '*' to have a filter look like: *@*store.com . This would indicate to do whatever I specify to an email coming in from ANY combination of characters before the '@", and ANY combination of characters after the '@", in front of the 'store.com'. This would block ANYTHING that comes from 'store.com'.
Spam/junk mail folks are creative in making simple word changes prior to the '@" and after it, to make it look like a different sender. I would like to block that action, with a one line filter catching any character changes, by the use of the wildcard character ;*;. The '*' would indicated 'any character'.
I have tried using wildcards with Xfinity email filtering, but it does not appear to recognize the usage. Is wildcard editing of email filters possible with Xfinity?
