Yes... It is right if you want to do that

Be careful..

Having * before a name can be scary.. Are you sure there no legitimate email
addresses in the world that have Widget.com at the end?

@*widget.com will catch @badwidget.com as well as @goodwidget.com

Be careful.

@widget.com
@*.widget.com

Will catch only the single domain widget.com and all variations they can do
to their name with subdomains.

Kami -

According to the Ipswitch Knowledgebase (IM-19990611-DM06):

"Starting in version 8 you can enter:
@*widget.com
This will reject all mail from widget.com, bluewidget.com, nifty.widget.com,
etc."

Are you saying that this doesn't work properly without the "duplicate"
entries you describe?

Hi Gary:

We have that only for domains that use it..

remember * only is a placeholder of whatever goes there... so:

@*.something.com would catch  @what.something.com, @nothing.something.com

@something.com is not caught by the above.

So if you want to catch both you need two entries:

@*.something.com
@something.com

What we see is a lot of this:

@mx1.something.com
@mx2.something.com

so @*.something.com is great for that.
