No, it’s the opposite.
The example is of a word that is inside another word. It is not part of the word that is inside another word.
Your example split apart the thing to look for, unlike the example given. With your example, the entire email address would have to be found, to match. It is all “one word”.

Thanks, Joy. I appreciate the response. But what you describe doesn’t seem to be how the instructions read:
“It will match inside words, so “press” will match “WordPress”.
If the instructions said that the entire string is a “word,” as you have indicated, that would clarify.

It does say “One word or IP address per line.”

The Settings —> Discussion page says this:
Comment Moderation
When a comment contains any of these words in its content, author name, URL, email, IP address, or browser’s user agent string, it will be held in the moderation queue. One word or IP address per line. It will match inside words, so “press” will match “WordPress”
Really? So if I am getting spam from [email protected], and I put “[email protected]” into the Comment Moderation box, will that send to Pending a comment that includes “He needs to take the xxxxxx by the horns” or ANY comment made by someone with a gmail.com address?
That doesn’t make sense.
