is there any way to setup a filter in gmail to not receive all emails coming from a ".us" domain?

[Hansen Xu]

i've recently been getting TONS of spam emails from "random...@random.random.us" addresses. the only thing that is common between them as far as i can tell is that there is always 2 random words after @, and it always ends in a ".us" address. however, gmail filter doesn't seem to recognize wildcards the way I want it to. for example, if i setup a filter "from:(..us)" or "from: *.us)", it actually just searches for the word "us" in the from field and would filter our some legit emails like important...@company.com as well. I've tried a number of different combinations of .s @s and *s and quotation marks to no avail. basically gmail seems to ignore everything except the string "us" no matter what else I add in there. does anyone know how to completely force gmail to use wildcard correctly? or just completely block anything that sends me an email that ends in .us address?

As far as I know, Gmail doesn't use wildcards.  Period.

​Sorry, I can't help you with that.  I tried a few things too and had the same results as you.

But can't you train your Spam filter to catch those emails?  Keep marking them as Spam until the filter learns to recognize them.  Usually that's the best approach.  But it doesn't always work.
