Hi @mijefo4504 ,
I am also looking for such feature ability in Bitdefender Total Security 2021, but there is no option to add or exclude with wild card characters.
may be in next 2022 version, till then we need to wait :) 🙂

Hi,
We have no plans currently to allow blocking TLDs. Can you provide us with a scenario in which this would be useful for you? Whitelist/blacklist entries for a certain domain (for example:
bitdefender.comwill apply for all subdomains as well (example:central.bitdefender.com)Best regards.

my email is being hit with over 50 spam emails from ****** sites all emails end with either - “.cloud” or “.biz” every time I block a domain for example @weaftgcgutcc.flvhgugf.cloud (it really is just a series of letters making no sense) the sender simply creates more domains
is there a wild card or a way to block any emails from @domain.domain.cloud or @domain.biz

Hello @Messier1983,
Check the below articles for more insight on this:
Note: Do not add domains of legitimate web-based email services (such as Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc.) to the Spammers list. Otherwise, the email messages received from any registered user of such a service will be detected as spam. If, for example, you add yahoo.com to the Spammers list, all email messages coming from yahoo.com addresses will be moved to spam.
If you add '.cloud' or '.biz', all emails with that suffix will be blocked.
Also, you can use the link below to check if your email address was leaked somewhere, as this could explain the amount of spam emails you get:

Hi @Messier1983
I don't know if you use Outlook, but if you Google, "Bleeping computer Microsoft Outlook flooded with spam due to broken email filters," may be of some insight?
It looks like Alexandru mentioned that you could block those .cloud and .biz?
Kind regards,
Scott

@Messier1983 you can block them, but this may have other consequences where legitimate email is also blocked.
I will post the insightful link @Scott referred to here:
This might be of interest, in the event you are using Outlook.
