Banned Emails Wildcard Option (Just Checking)

I have a lot of spam users signing up with email addresses containing strings like...

'@hushmail'
'142@'

If I add the following to banned emails then will it block these specific strings...

'*@hushmail'
'*142@'
 
It is best to target email domains, like:

*@hushmail.com

That will work.

But email banning is a cat and mouse game. I recommend CAPTCHA:

Admin CP -> Tools -> Question and Answer
 
I had that stuff on with VB but it didnt help too much. Plus I wanted to target specific spammers.

For example I had over 100 spam accounts registered that looked something like this...

......142@.....

Basically a random name and a well known domain (like live.com) but the common denominatory was always '142@'

So wont it work if i do...

*@142
