Topic: How can block senders using the from field

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====

Dear Sirs, I want to completely block all incoming emails with from starting with deszy{xxx}  e.x. manager@deszyinfo.com   jim@deszydesign.info  rose@deszystudio.in  etc.
The spammer is using Gmail email servers, so the only possibility to block them is by using the from field, that as I explained, is in the form of (random name}@deszy{whatever}.{whatever}
Please help me.
Given the command:
python3 /opt/iredapd/tools/wblist_admin.py --add --blacklist @.deszy
or
python3 /opt/iredapd/tools/wblist_admin.py --add --blacklist @.deszy*
doesn't seem to work, so please tell me what is the correct command to achieve this blocking?

Thanks

Better use Postfix header_checks and/or body_checks to match it with regular expression.

Thanks for your answer.
Can you give me a configuration example because I am not sure what to set and what R.E. is the needed.

Re: How can block senders using the from field

To answer to my own question, I just put at the file:
/etc/postfix/header_checks

the line:
/^From:.*deszy/ REJECT ACCESS DENIED. Your email was rejected because you are a spammer...

then I restarted the postfix:
systemctl restart postfix

After the above, the spammer got what it's deserved...

P.S. I am wondering nobody here can give me this instruction ???  ...
