Apr 16, 2015 1:32 PM in response to Don Starnsby Michael Black,In iOS you cannot. Any mail filtering needs to be done by your service provider on their servers. iOS Mail does not offer any such feature. Check if your mail service provider has filtering or white & black listing provided. If they do, log into your account via their control panel or web interface and set up filtering there.

Apr 16, 2015 1:38 PM in response to Don Starnsby Sparkleberry,Get a spam filter for your Mac and use it to filter the mail
Example, Spam Sieve
See
http://c-command.com/spamsieve/
and discussion on it here

"Due to limitations of the iOS platform, there is not currently an iPhone version of SpamSieve. However, you can use SpamSieve on your Mac to keep the spam off your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The Mac has much more bandwidth and processing power, so it makes sense to do the spam filtering there, anyway. When you check for mail on your iPhone, you won’t waste time or battery power downloading or processing spam messages."

For example I use Yahoo. I'd go to yahoo.com, sign in, go to options, block the sender and save. THen iOS will respect the rules that yahoo puts in place...yahoo will block the sender, iOS will never get the mail and you'll not see it.
