 Here at blogs.law.harvard.edu, we want to allow all harvard.edu subdomains
 to create blogs in our multisite install. There are hundreds of domains
 and it would be difficult to get a complete list because of the complexity
 of our DNS infrastructure.

 I propose allowing the inclusion of a single prefix wildcard character in
 the limited email domains feature. If a limited email domain contains a
 "*", we would create a regex and match that specific entry via a wildcard.
 So "*.harvard.edu" would match "cyber.law.harvard.edu", "fas.harvard.edu",
 etc. To match the root TLD, you'd just manually enter "harvard.edu".

 We have a variant of this applied as a core hack to our wordpress install
 at http://blogs.law.harvard.edu and it's been working fine for years. I
 will package it up as a patch if there's interest. Thoughts?

 I don't think it'd make sense to allow embedded wildcards (dom*ain.org).
