My list is quite full but I am getting alot of spam from one particular party called recessionspecials.com.

Can the blocked senders list just block all messages from domains such as @yahoo.com etc without having to put the full address of the sender.

If not could someone suggest a good free spam blocker to use.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Regards,

duncan

I apologise for not putting enough info.

What I would like to achieve is to block ie all emails from etc @yahoo.com, @aol.com and so on without the stuff prior to the @ as the spammers just change a digit or letter prior to the @.

To sum up I would like to block all emails from for example yahoo.com,aol.com etc.

I hope that has explained further.

Thanking you in anticipation.

duncan

LOL.

Was plenty of information Duncan.

In all honesty, I'm not sure if it does or not. The only thing I can say is try it. Do you have an e-mail address at Yahoo or Hotmail for instance? Add it as many different ways you can think of and try sending yourself mail from your Yahoo or Hotmail account or from whatever other account you might have.

From what I remember though...it doesn't work that way, with wildcard entries.

No, no, disregard my last post.

I just did some testing and it can be done.

Simply enter the domain name instead of an e-mail address. In your case, you'll just type recessionspecials.com when you add the blocked sender.

Yes, don't put the @.

As TK also noted, just put for instance yahoo.com

Thanks guys I now have noticed that you do not use the @ and all the emails I want to block from a specific site are now blocked.

Thanks again to all.
