Your carrier can block SMS/MMS messages that originate from email addresses instead of phone numbers at their gateway.


If you have AT&T, call customer service and ask the rep to look up article *446389 in their system. That explains what they need to do.

You can't do it from the phone itself. All you can do from the phone is block the individual senders, which is pointless since they almost never use the same sending address twice.
