Default Allow the use of * wildcard in creating rules for Outlook.

I want to automatically delete any mail I receive from anyone at addr.com
(which I believe has been selling my e-mail address for years, ever since I
used them as my webhost). I have tried making a rule which says "delete any
mail which has " in the sender's address", but I'm still getting
mail from them and people associated with them.

I also tried "addr.com" and " but I'm still getting mail.

I think Outlook should allow the use of an asterisk as a wildcard.

YES! Outlook should definitely honor wildcards in rules. I get many emails
daily where the subject has a serial number that constantly changes and I
need to wildcard that out of the string to match my rule! What a pain it is
to not have wildcards!
