^.*\..*\+.*@

for any domain or

^.*\..*\+.*@gmail.com$

for only gmail.com.

See the withlist script at
<https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/add_banned.py>. In that script, replace
the line

    mlist.ban_list.append(address)

with

    mlist.ban_list = []

For that script, you would still need to supply an 'address_to_ban'
argument even though it's ignored. You could make an even simpler
withlist script along the lines of

def init_ban_list(mlist):
    if not mlist.Locked():
        mlist.Lock()
    mlist.ban_list = []
    mlist.Save()
    mlist.Unlock()
