Wildcard characters are accepted. The wildcard character is an asterisk (*) and will match any number of characters. You can use wildcards with any of the examples provided in this article. For example:
- *mcafee.com – matches workatmcafee.com, buymcafee.com, and so on
- *.mcafee.com – matches email.mcafee.com, domain.mcafee.com, but not the examples in the previous bullet, because they do not include a period after the asterisk.
- 208.65.*.* – matches any IP address that begins with 208.65.
- *@mcafee.com – matches any email address at mcafee.com. (This is equivalent to entering only the domain.)
NOTE: Allowed senders bypass the spam and content filters, but they do not bypass the virus policy filters. You can choose whether or not a given allowed sender can bypass the attachment policy filter. Allowed senders do not bypass the attachment policy filter by default, but this can be overridden on a per allowed-sender basis.
