Is it possible, to give a whole domain as exclusive sender -
e.g.
mybank.com
or is a fully qualified email address as
info1@mybank.com required ?
Thank you for an answer ...

How do I write the domain "domain.com" :
- @domain.com ?
- domain.com ?
-
*@domain.com ?

domain.com or @domain.com --- it's regex matching

So if I wrote down "bank.com", would "mybank.com" (or for that matter, each "Xbank.com") get caught too?
Actually, when I think about it, would "bank.com@testing.bla" get caught just as well?

No, the pattern is smart enough to filter out the spurious matches mentioned above. So bank.com will match @citi.bank.com and @bank.com but not @citibank.com or bank.com@domain.

It's worth noting that the matching logic is different for trusted senders and for exclusive senders -- trusted senders use "domain-style" matching (example.com matches my.example.com, but not my-example.com), and exclusive senders use regex matching -- example.com matches both my.example.com and my-example.com

So I was right after all (about exclusive senders, at least)!
Would it also catch "blaexample.com" and "example.com@whatever.bla" ?

I get lost easily in these types of discussions -- by "get caught" do you mean match? What are we matching against again? Generally speaking, the whole string must be contained in the incoming address -- regex wild cards and operators ( eg, | for 'or') work, too.

Would (the exclusive sender "example.com") also catch "blaexample.com" and "example.com@whatever.bla"?
catch=match.
Now re-read this line...
