Email blocking filters

.com	This blocks any email from ANY .com domain. Something you probably don't want to do.
mail.com	This blocks any email from mail.com and also any email from hotmail.com
@mail.com	This blocks any mail from mail.com but not hotmail.com
.mail.com	This blocks mail from sub domains such as xyz.mail.com , john@xyz.mail.com However this is am address block and not a host block so it will not block a forged address like xyz@zyx.com sent by a mail.com server.
ox@xyz.com	This will block ox@xy.com but it also can block fox@xyz.com
" ox@xyz.com"	This will only block ox@xyz.com . Don't type the quotes (') it's just used to indicate the space in front of the ox. A space signals Xwall to stop comparing.
