This makes me 😭

UPDATE: Thanks @[email protected] for this update: The issue has now been commented on and was closed by the maintainer, where they explained why those blocks would be nonsense. But it appears the OP wants to still talk with maintainer privately about it.

That comment chain was utterly hilarious. The OP practically wanted to block every email provider in existence.

You know because you can create spam from practically every provider. I guess it's good that this kind of idiocy is hashed out rather than just being implemented blindly with a pull request.

Stop all spam with this one simple ~~trick~~ filter! All spam emails contain '@', therefore all emails containing '@' are spam and will be blocked
