Ohhhh..... ok. Then i'm not sure why it seems to be blocking it anyways. 
Perhaps it's my DNSBL entries that have picked it up somehow because someone 
else complained about it.

Anyways -- heres what I thought you ment.

That if you block someone@something.domain.com that someone@domain.com will 
still be allowed through. I did not realize that you were saying *@ was deny 
and *. was ALLOW.

When I'm editing a filter i make the assumption that a filter is for denying 
things :-)

I understand now. It will be easy enough to fix. I can just do a text search 
and replace for *. and replace wirh *@

Am I understanding correctly now?
