Wildcards do not use the backslash, only Regex do. Do none of the patterns fit?

Try (.*\@ms15\.spam\.net) as a regex

IMHO there is no need to escape the ' @' in the regex as it is not a special character. That said I' d guess ' .*\@someserver.com' would never match any email address. edit: nope, it doesn' t HURT but is not necessary either.

Good morning, as far as I can see they can't give you a more concrete answer. It is difficult to find information on how the parameters should be loaded.
As far as I could find, when you use "Wildcards" you must load the value *@domain.com and if you use "Regular Expressions" you must enter the domain name, without @, for example domain\.com$ or domain\.com\.uk$
Also if you use a word in the "regular expression" that word will be filtered.
If someone had another experience that has been satisfactory, I would appreciate it if you could comment it.
Thank you very much.
