I have a similar filter (basically the same setup), mainly for SPAM 
distributed by Google. The entries differ a bit. For a single domain:
   *@domain_to_block.com
And for subdomains:
   *.domain_to_block.com

Just one asterisk at the beginning. For more complex pattern matching you 
would have to use a regular expression (starting with a ^).
