Remove mail from 'blacklist'

Hi - There is mail from a certain domain which keeps bothering me. Apple Mail puts it in the Junk mailbox, but I would prefer it to be destroyed before that. Is there a way to do this?

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

Hey there Mr Moto,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! Thanks for your great question about filtering mail before it gets to your inbox. I'd be glad to assist you with that!


What it sounds like you will want to do is set up server side mail rules. This will help to filter messages before they arrive into your inbox. If you're using an iCloud email address, you can follow the steps in Set up rules to filter email in Mail on iCloud.com to get those rules created and configured.


If you use a different email service provider, you can check with them on the possibility of setting up mail rules, as the process will vary for different providers.


If you're using a Mac and would rather have the filters be used locally, you can Filter emails in Mail on Mac.


Have a great day!
