@Faykc I used * in my post to denote a wildcard in the email addresses I listed, but you don't need to use that when specifying your rules. I have set one of mine up as follows if that helps:
If From
contains @in.
Set Rule Action
Then
Discard
You just have to be careful when setting rules that nothing genuine could get blocked by mistake.
Yes the Rdl ones are particularly virulent.
Now I have started to get hundreds a day (12,000 in one week) from this address:
<info@mail.gangofertify.com>
Difficult to keep up!
Thank you. That’s great.
@andydenyer when I tried this in settings it told me to add email address or domain and would not let me add what you suggest. Can you advise? thanks
@jennie77 Are you selecting Rules rather than Blocked senders? Under Blocked senders, you can only add specific email addresses or domains. Whereas under Rules, you have far more flexibility to specify what to look out for and then what action to take. I've also added specific rules to send emails from known (genuine) email addresses to my Inbox as the Safe senders list doesn't always seem to work properly either.
Perhaps this screenshot will help:
I then created another rule with rdl in place of in between the @ and the .
Thanks I will try that
I think things must have changrd as one of my email addresses has recently started getting spammed with up to 10 on each check when I log in.i block senders and mark as spam but still the stuff gets let into the spam folder. Why does the system not just reject the spam email and send it back to sender?
