Boxtrapper: blacklisting .co domains?

Whilst I successfully block other TLDs by using (for example) "from .+\.eu" (sans quotes), when I try to block all mail from the .co TLD ("from .+\.co"), it also blocks all TLDs from .co.uk, .com etc. Anyone enlighten me as to how I can specify a literal (*.co) string rather than a contained-in string which is obviously how Boxtrapper reads it (*.co*)? I'm stumped. Thanks.

  Try this - from .+\@\.co$ Or this - from .+\@.+\...$ The '$' indicates (in regex) that the matching string must end with a match of the regex pattern. The first example will match "*@*.co" and the second one will match all TLDs with 2 characters like "*@*.eu", "*@*.pl", etc. But "*@*.com" will not match. The other problem with boxtrapper is the order in which the lists are checked. It checks the ignore list first, then white, then black. It should really be checking the white list first. Regards, j
