Actually, I'd planned to test all the domain subparts, from specific to general, stopping if there's a match. For example, if the message was from [EMAIL PROTECTED], I'd test books.amazon.com, amazon.com, and com in that order. If Joe had created the domain address for amazon.com, the first test would fail, and the second would succeed. If he had created it for dvd.amazon.com, all three would fail. It's a little extra work, I hadn't thought of encoding the *number* of domain parts in the address. I'll give your idea some thought. > Values of zero or one should not be allowed. Zero's definitely out, but if someone wants to whitelist an entire top level domain, who am I to say no? > For filter rules, you'd want something like: > > to [EMAIL PROTECTED] domain=2 > > to accomplish the above.

More handy than sender > addresses, which I have yet to be able to apply to a single situation. I'll try to come up with something this week.
