Can't whitelist address containing multiple dots before @

Post by tekwizard »

I have a few addresses which can not be white listed. Some of them are coming from like yahoo and having the structure xxx.xxxATyahooDOTcom or even xxx.xxx.xxxATyahooDOTcom . So now I don't want to whitelist all of the yahoo accounts with *ATyahooDOTcom . I have tried to use regular expressions and write it xxx\.xxxATyahooDOTcom or *xxxATyahooDOTcom but the addresses are removed immediately when I try to save the white list in MailScanner FE.

You might be able to add these manually to the whitelist, but you will not be able to add them using the front-end as the syntax only allows *@domain.com, user@domain.com, or an IP address. In other words you can only use an asterisk wildcard as the ENTIRE first part of the email address, not for just part of it.
