To block messages from a sender or domain
You can block messages from a particular sender or domain. The domain is the name following the @ symbol in an e-mail address.
When you block a sender or domain, no e-mail or news message from that sender or domain will arrive in your Inbox or in the news messages you read. E-mail from blocked senders goes directly into your Delete folder. Newsgroup messages from blocked senders are not displayed.
- From your e-mail Inbox or the list of messages in a newsgroup, select a message from a sender you want to block.
- On the Message menu, click Block Sender.
Notes
-
Blocking a sender applies to standard POP mail only. It does not apply to HTTP mail (Hotmail) or IMAP messages.
- To remove a name from the Blocked Senders list, click the Tools menu, point to Message Rules, and then click Blocked Senders List.
