That only works for iMessages, not SMS or MMS messages.


Your carrier has the ability to block all SMS and MMS messages that originate from email addresses instead of phone numbers. This will block ALL SMS and MMS messages that originate from email.

Contact your cellular carrier if you wish to do that.

You might ask your carrier about reporting SMS messages that come from email addresses. I just found that AT&T has a way to report such messages:


AT&T: We are working on ways to better allow customers to report these instances to us. Currently, customers can forward the text content to 7726 and then report this 10-digit number as the sender: 1410100000. Our systems will be able to look up the sender’s email address, allowing us to take appropriate action.
