No, well as I said, unless things have changed radically, the latter 
would reject [*.]com but not domains containing the substring 'com'; the 
former would reject only [*.]romtelecom.net

But I'm really not used to that format, without a header type, and it's 
therefore unclear to me which mail header/s that would apply to, so I 
hope someone not so thoroughly out of date will answer this ..
