Blocking E-Mail Addresses That Are Not ".com" or ".net"

Hi,

I know how to use the e-mail blocking feature in Firefox Spam settings, but find it is limited to blocking only ".com" or ".net" e-mail addresses. I am getting others, including some with many components to the right of the "@" sign, sometimes from foreign countries (an example would be "bargain@aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd.in").

Firefox will not accept such an address for blocking. Is there a way to unlock the Spam e-mail address ".com" or ".net" restriction so that it will accept any address for which blocking is desired? Can this restriction be simply eliminated by Firefox programmers?

Thanks.

hello, firefox is a browser - a program to render websites. are you referring to the spam filter of a webmail provider? then you'd have to contact them in order to implement things right....
