Block entire Top Level Domains in Email Protection : Anti-spam ?

I am getting an enormous amount of spam in user quarantines from a seemingly made up TLD. I used to get .xyz and now I get .science.

Of my 10680 mails in quarrintine, 4455 are from a .science domain

I would love it if someone would tell me how to block these since that are all junk.

I tried 
*@*.science
 under Email Protection : Anti-spam : Sender blacklist but it does not work.

It looks like each SPAM campaign has a different IP, domain, and sub-domain so the TLD is the only common factor. These never get caught by rDNS or RBLs and I would like to see them gone.

Here are some sample headers:

Will a REGEX work?

If so, can someone please post one?

Thanks.

  • Thank you for the tip, I'll bookmark that one.

    However, this just shows his Whois record, which is 100% fake.

    He registers new domains with a script every few hours on namecheap.com.

    They are all 100% completely fake registration information.  Random words.

     

    By the time you report him, he has LONG since abandoned the domain.  He only uses them for a couple of hours.

  • I have worked out a less-than-perfect solution for blocking entire top level domains to counteract this kind of spammer. I'd rather not post it here for the spammers to see. What do you think Bob? Best if kept out of the forum? If you are a long-term user that recognizes the need for Sophos to fix what they broke in UTM 9.1 so this can be done in the global email settings drop me a PM and I will provide my tedious user level solution.
