Need advice on setting up filters

Hi, I've tried searching the help section but cannot find an answer to my specific filters problem,

I'm getting loads of scam emails from random domains, I have already created about 40 filters to block anything coming from domains like ".bond, .lat, .cam, .buzz, .casa" etc etc, rather than constantly adding to the blocked list I'm wondering how to setup an allowed list, I would only like to allow emails from domains ending in ".co.uk, .com, .net, .org" and to send all others to the junk folder, I never have anything that's useful from the other random sounding domains.

I have tried setting up filters using the terms "from" & "doesn't contain" and adding lines for each of the domains I do want to receive emails from, but when I run them I ended up with all emails getting sent to the junk folder.

It's probably a simple thing to do when you know how but so far it escapes me, can someone tell me how to allow emails from any ".com .co.uk .net & .org" domains and to block all the others?

Thanks,

The attempt to fight spam with static filters is futile. Use the built-in junk mail controls instead. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/thunderbird-and-junk-spam-messages
