I tried many different ways & still not able to create a valid rule to tell "@xfinity.com" to be automatically to the trash
already tagged" as junk, buy still receiving over 10x day for the last month
Thank you
If you are receiving emails from an xfinity.com domain, then only the single rule should be to test if the From address contains @xfinity.com, not the To address. That should be sufficient.
There is also the notion of a header Return-Path that is the actual last server sending the email. It does not need to be associated with xfinity.com and could be an entirely different named domain mail server acting as a forwarding hub. I currently receive emails that appear to be from different entities, domain names, and all pass through the same or closely related Return-Path servers. Block the Return-Path server and greatly reduce the SPAM flow. Apple should, but does not include Return-Path in the list of header fields, but one can add it from the bottom of the list that you select From and To header fields from.

You might try adding the rule online at iCloud.com in the Mail settings section. Click on the Rules button:
and the add the rule:
That puts the rule at the source before it even gets to your Mac.
Note: this only works for iCloud email accounts. If you have a Gmail or other account the rule will have to be on your Mac.
Thx again "Old Toad"
after a few days adding a rule directly on iCloud.com everything is working fine now.
here's my rules so far
the sender always use @xfinity.com, but with different IDs
just add a new rule... "Message is not addressed to my full name". and it works now
Show us the rule that does not work.
Thank you VikingOSX, will "tweak" my rules accordantly
Thank you "Old Toad".
will give it a try,
never thought adding a rule directly to iCloud,
but that's making sense to me now
Glad to hear that.
