Anti-Spam Block List Syntax

Does anyone have any information on what syntax is supported in the Anti-Spam Block List?
The documentation is not very elaborately on this. Just that I should add a "domain name or email address".
Is this a basic pattern matching? Are wildcards allowed? Is the match bound to the end?

Examples:

Does "acme.com" also match emails from "foo.acme.com"?
Does "acme.com" also match emails from "acme.company.net"
Does "@acme.com" also match?
Can I use "@*.acme.com" ?

Any information or recommendations on this are very welcome,

Thanks, Bernhard

Are you talking about the anti-spam on the gateway side? 
The answer I got back from @CheckMatesAI suggests the following:

  • acme.com will only match acme.com (not foo.acme.com)
  • @acme.com will only match emails from acme.com (not foo.acme.com)
  • *.acme.com will match foo.acme.com (but not acme.com)
  • @*.acme.com will match emails from foo.acome.com (but not acme.com)
  • ? can be used for a single character wildcard

However, I can't find any other confirmation of this information.

Thanks Dameon, what i can tell so far is, that the string requires to include an "@" even for the domain.
...at least if i use SmartConsole, maybe this is different using the API.

While using wildcards is accepted, the question is still if they are behaving correctly. eg.

  • @*.acme.com
  • @*.shop
