Spam Message Filtering on Mac

I keep getting spam messages from someone. I would just block them, but they always create new burner email addresses. They are filtered on my iPhone with an app, but they aren't on my Mac. Is there some kind of third-party app that filters messages that appear on your Mac?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.1

Blocking Messages senders from MacOS I'm getting Far Too Many spam/phishing text messages. When I read them on my phone, I have an easy way of blocking the sender. However, I don't see an easy way to block them when I read them on my Mac. Is there something I'm missing?

How can I bulk-block disgusting spam emails? I get vile and disgusting emails in my junk mail folder and the volume of them is getting much greater recently (in the past few weeks). I am using IOS 16.5 I have been doing the edit/select all/delete and then going to the trash and repeating edit/select all/delete from the trash to get rid of them, but frankly, it feels like shoveling snow in a snowstorm. In the past few days, I have started blocking the sender, but there seems to only be one way of doing this and it is to block individual emails and this is a time-consuming process, and I’m not sure it’s making a significant difference (does blocking even help? Or are spammers savvy in creating new sender names?) I have set advanced filters with specific wording for junk mail on my Mac per the advice in apple support, but again, this doesn’t seem to be helping either. If blocking DOES help and I’m just not seeing the results quite yet, it would be very helpful be able to allow blocking of multiple messages at the same time, and for individual blocking, it would be most helpful if the placement of the “block” in the bottom of the dropdown box could be moved up so that I didn’t have to add a step of scrolling down in the dropdown box to select “block.” Any help you can offer would be wonderful. I don’t like seeing these disgusting emails anywhere in my personal emails, even in junk or trash.

If Junk mail is not working for you as expected you can turn it off in Mail>Preferences.

You have the option of installing a third party spam filter. ex.

Have a look at the Mail Rules capability (in preferences).
