Are you sure you need to drop all mail from .info domain? This is a very non-standard thing to do.
I am assuimg you need this in order to try and prevent SPAM, did you already look at the anti-spam feaures of SME Server, including RHBL and bayesian learning to prevent SPAM?

The .info domain is nothing but issues for me. I'd rather just drop all of it.

Other SA posts are finding similar results. A SA config would be acceptable but I hoped there would be a qpsmtpd plugin that would block tld's.

You'd have to write one. I don't think that badmailfrom allows domain wildcards.

Maybe you could use some DNS trick to do it, but writing a simple qpsmtpd plugin would probably be simpler. As would SA config.

I agree that it's non-standard, but it would cut out about half of the spam that I see that makes it through RHSBL and DNSBL and SA.

Maybe the Email WBL contrib does this. Try it and see.

No, the WBL contrib does not do this. Unless I didn't use it correctly, which is entirely possible.
