How to use wildcard expressions

 

There will be occasions when you want to allow emails from everyone at a given domain. To save you the time and effort of individually entering all the email addresses of all the people at a given organization or company, MailWasher Pro allows you to enter a wildcard expression.

Complete the steps below to use a wildcard expression to add a given domain to your Friends list or Blacklist.

 

Step

Action

1

Click  in either the Friends list or Blacklist tabs to display the Add to address list window.

2

Select the Wildcard expression radio button and enter the email address you want to add to the address list. Enter the email domain, preceded by a wildcard expression. Use the following wildcards:

·      ? matches any one character

·      * matches 0 or more unknown characters

·      + matches one or more unknown characters

 For example, *@firetrust.com would recognize all senders from firetrust.com as friends.

 

 If you are unsure that your wildcard expression is catching all the addresses you want it to, enter it into the Email address to test against field and click , and see if there is a match.
