Using wildcards in junk email safe senders list

T

Thomas Wakefield

I want to add @*.domain.com.au to the safe senders list. This is because the
organisation has many subdomains (not all AD/Exchange) and people running
outlook in cache mode frequently get lagit email sent to their junk email
folder. Rather than adding hundreds of entries eg @sub1.domain.com.au,
@sub2.domain.com.au, etc I want to add @*.domain.com.au.

Outlook (2003 and 2007) accepts this as a valid option however testing
proves it has no effect at all and email is still delivered to the junk email
folder.

Are wildcards supposed to work in the safe senders list? If not, I feel they
should and would like to recommend this be changed.

Thanks

No, wildcards are not supported. You'd need to add each subdomain separately.
