With the increase of spam, it's difficult to weed out unwanted email from your inbox. Wildcards provide a way to manage and filter email. A wildcard includes an asterisk, representing a character or string of characters. You may add the wildcard before or after the "@" sign in an email address. You can customize the wildcard and check for specific text, numbers or other characters in the sender's name or in the domain name.
