can you block all email addresses from sending you text messages on the messages app? i probably get 5 texts or more a day from either hotmail or gmail accounts and they are porn ads - i can block after they come through but i would like to block @gmail @hotmail domains from even getting through to my message app - or is there a better app to use for Text messaging ?

Hi there brucebuk,
We understand you have a question about blocking email addresses in the Messages app, and we'd like to share a resource that can help.
Check it out here: Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Specifically, the "Filter messages from unknown senders" section may help.
Cheers!
thanks but i know how to block them after they happen - then 10 minutes later i'm getting the same message with a different email address. i would like to block complete domains like @gmail.com or @hotmail.com so they can't get threw the first time.
and the filter messages from unknown still puts the message on my phone.

A question: do you use a macOS computer?
If so, you can use SpamSieve.
