spam emails come from an address with .top for the final extension. I have
built a filters trying to use * to represent the address,I. E., *@*.*.top,
*@*.top and even just *.top. So far, this has not worked. Can the * be used
as a substitution for the changing portions of these spam addresses?

You should address this with host excellence.. Spam controls are best done
on the MTA (mail transfer agent), either rejection, quarantine or tagging.
Tagging is then used by the MDA (mail delivery agent) to filter the spam
for you.  Using the client (in your case Horde) is a very 90s solution.

The problem is the .top domain you're trying to filter is probably only the
displayed address and not the real address.  If you can supply full headers
for a problem mail, someone can advise you, but this is really your ISP's
problem to solve.
