Topic: Blacklisting everything from @domain.anything query

The white and blacklist formats for the SQL commands as given by python wblist_admin.py are ...

        Add white/blacklists for specified (local) account. Valid formats:

            - a single user: username@domain.com
            - a single domain: @domain.com
            - entire domain and all its sub-domains: @.domain.com
            - anyone: @. (the ending dot is required)

        if no '--account' argument, defaults to '@.' (anyone).

Really simple question, looking at the above I conclude that
@domain.
would blacklist everything from @domain.com, @domain.co.uk, @domain.net ... you get the idea? If not how could I do this?
Thanks

It doesn't work like this. You have to whitelist each top-level domains, not part of domain name (wildcard).

I was worried that would be the case ... pity, I have a LOT more things to blacklist now, and with the explosion of top level domains, maybe it would be worth considering a wildcard option for the future?

Maybe.
The concern is the performance while querying SQL db to get wildcard white/blacklists.

Re: Blacklisting everything from @domain.anything query

I am currently experimenting with the idea of preparing a TLD list and merging that with a blacklist which would contain a catchahall TLD reference to create individual blacklist FQDNs then insert those into the blacklist tables. Gets around the SQL performance issue. One user maintained text list for each set and a simple script to run.
