Should I block the sender or the domain?

I found an email in my Spam box. It appeared to be from McAfee, and the subject line said "Your Mcafee Subscription may have expired?! Renew Now! " [note the error in McAfee, the random capitalisation and punctuation]

When I hovered over the sender I found it was from "jamie@nationalarchives.gov.uk" I have forwarded the email to report@phishing.gov.uk

Should I forward it to McAfee?

I don't have a McAfee product. How can "jamie" get a domain name like nationalarchives.gov.uk ?

When I get spam (I don't get a lot, certainly not every day, not even every week) I usually block the domain if it is one I've never seen before. Although I've never had one from nationalarchives.gov.uk, I don't want to block any emails from .gov.uk, so should I just block this sender (who can presumably change his email address in a millisecond) or can I block the domain?

Why did the report email address get turned purple and underlined whereas jamie's email address didn't?

Block DOMAIN as that means you,ll get no more EMAILS from the whole EMAIL SOURCE. Yes a no they can change there emails etc, but I always block DOMAIN and trust me they,ll get fed up (if they,re consistently seneding) EMAILS. TAKE CARE. Rodney!
