I don't use the wildcard and it works. Just try .pl.
Thanks, will try.
Also, if we want to block a domain with some specific characters, should *c.pl work for blocking mc.pl or xxmc.pl

I don't know how many 'a lot' is. I haven't had much success with automated filters. I just check the list every day (or so) and delete them in groups.
All the ones where the user name is a complete non-match with the email addy (J_Smith has the email; A_Brown) go first.
I don't really have content that appeals to foreigners. Sorry, Russian dudes, but I have banned any *.ru address. Likewise with the Chinese.
That takes care of about 75% of the spam with a few clicks. Scrutinize the rest and toss out anyone who registered and signed off in a minute or two.
In 3 minutes you are down to a very small number that you either look at more closely, or just activate them and delete them with the first spam.
Every now and again I cast out someone who really wanted in, and they email a WTF? And I personally log them in.

Tried 'hotmail.com', but still have
[email protected] 'Awaiting (Administrator) Activation' ?
