Well, assuming that you're using SpamCop Filtered Email (otherwise,
why would you be posting here?), you're posting in the wrong place,
although a nearby one.  There is a newsgroup specifically for SC
email/webmail questions -- spamcop.mail -- although there seems
to be some "herding" of us cats over to the web-based forum for
SC email support questions.  You can find that forum at
    http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?showforum=4

However, to answer your question here, I think you need to put simply
   fedmarket.com
in your personal blacklist.  No '@'-sign, no stars, just the domain
name.

Log into SpamCop, go to Webmail, click on Options, then click on
Manage your personal blacklist.   You'll see all the entries you
have so far.

Now click on the "Click here" to add to your blacklist.  Enter
just the domain name you want to ban (assuming you want to ban
everything from anyone in that domain, or any subdomain).  Then
click on the Submit button, then again on View your blacklist
just to make sure you got everything right.  Then click on
Return to SpamCop Tools, and then on the Save Options button.
Then click on the Return to Options button.

Whew!

I am not the first to say that the SC webmail interface is not
particularly easy to use.  However, I am an enthusiastic customer
of the email filtering service, and have recommended it to others,
and adopted it for my company's "info" email address.

Now, if you are not talking about the SpamCop Email Filtering
(paid) service, then you're REALLY posting in the wrong place!
