iPad email spam

I have a persistent scam spammer getting past the block feature. They seem to evade the block by changing the prefix of their .com address.

I cannot find a way to block him, any help.?😀


iPad, iPadOS 15

Is there anything about the email address that is always the same? Other than the .com at the end that is.


If so you can easily create a Mail Rule to automatically send those messages to Junk. In other words if the sender is always using spammer@thismail.com and spammer@thatmail.com a Mail Rule would be an easy fix.


Here is a trivial example, using Mail on Mac:


Use rules to manage emails you receive in Mail on Mac explains how to create and use Mail Rules on a Mac. For iCloud Mail specific instructions applicable for an iPad, read Set up rules to filter email in Mail on iCloud.com - Apple Support.


Otherwise, keep manually sending those emails to Junk. Mail will eventually learn to do that automatically from the context of the message, the message headers, and other criteria.
