wildcard in front or back of filter failure

Post by attila.iskander »

Hello..

New with filters

This filter
*##.now-playing

Does not block the following
us-mg0.mail.yahoo.com##.now-playing
us-mg6.mail.yahoo.com##.now-playing

Also, a filter like this
us-mg4.mail.yahoo.com###yui_*
or
*mail.yahoo.com###yui_*

will not block the following
us-mg4.mail.yahoo.com###yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1469475646607_2107
us-mg4.mail.yahoo.com###yui_3_16_0_1_1470647226303_258097
us-mg6.mail.yahoo.com###yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471034487526_1960
us-mg4.mail.yahoo.com###yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471165381686_2137
us-mg0.mail.yahoo.com###yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471360143758_6191


What am I doing wrong ?

Thank you
