I keep getting junk emails from senders with the format

sales@XXX.YYY

where XXX is any weird name and YYY is com or info. I would like to replace
the XXX with a variable and put it into the Block Sender list. Is there a
character that Outlook will recognize as a variable?

I'm sure you considered this but I'm curious.
Is that the format of the display name as you see it when you read the email
or is that the format of the actual email address attached to the display
name's properties?

I use to get these types of emails until I switched from personal domain and
hotmail to msn and gmail.

You were answered in another group and you know it because you replied to
