Many 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?

Horde is an email client, not a spam filter. Like any client Horde has 
basic filters to sort incoming email based on static values and is not 
designed to deal with the forged values that most spam has.

Spam filtering is a very complex process that changes almost hourly as 
the spammers change tactics and sender domains. Talk with your email 
provider, Host Excellence?, about using a real spam filter like 
SpamAssassin.
