I wholeheartedly agree with this request! Specific to the url-domain-bl.txt file, I'd like to be able to filter out domains like *hosting.com. I know it's dangerous to use wildcards, but it's sometimes worth the risk. For example, I get tons of spam from 1001hosting.com, 2001hosting.com, 9001hosting.com, etc., and they're all from different IPs that rotate daily and the emails themselves have nothing consistent to filter on. It's horrible. Even adding whole IP ranges to the SMTP ACL is ineffective. The only thing that would work well is by adding that wildcard domain to the url-domain-bl.txt file, because that "pattern" is the only consistent thing about this spam. I must have 30 variants of this domain there now...
Also, I'd love a weighted filter for mail sent from international TLD's (determined by a reverse lookup so as to eliminate forged mail-froms). We almost never get legitimate mail from non-US mail servers. I wish I could break down the stats of the countries that send to us, but I don't have a tool to do that (suggestions?).

Example 1.2.3.4.adsl.monstermail.universidad.mx With Sendmail, the DOT is required. another example would be "videotron.ca" which would then block all email from any videotron origin, even though the domain string is much longer than that. Did I express this clearly enough?
