Fortimail - block simmilar sender

Hello, 

 

our customer recently received an emial from multipe siimilar e-mail senders, such as:

reply@directormmail.xyz , mails@directtorofffice.xyz and replies@directorrmails.online 

We want now to create a new Block Email policy, which will block simmilar senders.

 

Is there a option that we create a block e-mail adress policy in format like  *@direct???mails.online or *@direct???mails.xyz or *@direct??orof??ice.xyz ?

 

Br

Hi @Muri ,

 

FortiMail supports the use of wildcards to block patterns of addresses. You can use the asterisk (*) and question mark (?) as wildcards.

You can use the asterisk (*) and question mark (?) as wildcards.

 

* matches zero or more characters.
? matches exactly one character.

For your specific requirement, you can create block email addresses like:

 

*@direct???mails.xyz
*@direct???mails.online
*@direct??orof??ice.xyz


BR.
