Can I block email addresses by domain ?

iCloud allows us to set up junk filters via email address - great - but that is barely useful as spam engines randomize the address prefixes - I need to BLOCK THE DOMAIN , not the entire address. For instance, I am getting hammered with SPAM from the domain @wish.com but as I add one address to the junk, 50 more come with different prefixes. The iCloud spam filter is USELESS unless I am missing something, any way to stop this ?

LOL, not of any help at all. All other cloud based email services allow blocking of domains - google, microsoft, I can even do it on Godaddy / IMAP. I would expect Apple to allow it.


Unsubscribe from sender ? HA ! You obviously don't get how spammers work. The unsubscribe buttons on the bottom of their spam emails are address collectors, not unsubscribe buttons. Click them and you get MORE SPAM. The hard truth is the iCloud spam filters (on your server) are WEAK, and a lot of unwanted, spoofed and or hijacked & dangerous IP filtered email still gets through. Without the ability to filter domains or IPs we are exposed. Time to move my email off this platform. I literally got 150 spam emails from the same spoofed domain in one day! D-O-N-E

Greetings sixgunaz,


We're glad you were directed here from the related article and are following those steps to block the emails. While there isn't a way to block an email domain, you may be able to unsubscribe from the sender. You can find the unsubscribe option at the bottom of the email you're receiving.

My experience is one step more complicated than that! The offending domain is pro@reg.ru, but each email has a different address: "pro-xxxxxxxx@yyyyyyyyyyyyyy.reg.ru" i.e.: pro-(8 characters)@(14characters).reg.ru so it's impossible to block future emails. They all go to the Junk folder, but it rapidly becomes a pain to sort and delete. Why can't all messages from that domain be blocked at source?
