Hello all

 

acording to document exist on Cisco for 

How do I blacklist or drop a sending domain using Incoming Mail Policy and Content Filter?

 

it is listed 

From the Web GUI, choose Mail Policies > Incoming Mail Policy. Create a new Incoming Mail
Policy. You can label the policy, "Block-Sender-Domains." Select the "Sender" option and put in
the sender's email address or domain that you want to block. (e.g. user@example.com, user@,
@example.com, @.example.com)

 

I want to block domain but I need to understand what is the difference between 

@example.com and  @.example.com

what I think if I use @example.com this will block the following 

user@example.com 

but will not block 

user@test.example.com

 

if I choose @.example.com

this will block 

user@example.com and user@test.example.com

 

thanks in advance to confirm on that or advice for better understanding

Hi,

 

All users in a domain: @example.com
All users in a partial domain: @.example.com

 

The entry @example.com would only match members of the complete domain. Such as test@example.com.

 

The entry @.example.com would only match members of the partial domains. Such as test@mail.example.com and test@finance.example.com.

 

If you would like to match both complete and partial domains then both would need to be added together.

 

Regards,
Libin Varghese
