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?
