How to block the .co tld

Post by ashburtononline »

Hi,

I'm being spammed senseless by .buzz and .co domains. I can easily block .buzz but how can I block .co without affecting .com ?

Help Please

Are you using cPanel?

If so, then you can add:
*.co

to the option Filter Incoming Emails by Domain in WHM.

I will say no, but is better to do a test for your peace of mind.

Do the test and if it does block the .com then just delete the line that you have just added and everything will back to normal.

The way to know if it is blocking a .com is using your own cpanel account that uses ".com" and enter the icon "Track Delivery", then:
- set the filter for the.co using "*.co" and save.
- write to your account that ends in ".com" where you have the "Track Delivery" open.

after you send the email check your email and see if you received it, if you do then the filter is is working if not check the "Track Delivery" and in there you will see if it was blocked.
