Email Filters in iCloud Mail

I am trying to send any junkmail straight to trash for an email domain

qckcq9nqd6ss@suddenlinkmail.com

I have set 2 rules

is from (*@suddenlinkmail.com) still goes to junk not trash

also tried (@suddenlinkmail.com) still goes to junk not trash

Do I use the asterisk or not ? (SeeScreenShot) does asterisk work?
Can I set a filter for any email that has the work "unsubscribe", if yes, how do I set the filer ?
Get lots of junk with ID#3856 is there a way to filter out anything with (*ID*) in the subject?
Is there a way to write a script?

I am setting the rules in iCloud not the mail app

Thanks in advance

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13

Hello heycorky,

We understand you want to filter junk email that isn't from a specific address, but shares an email provider. The short answer is: that's not possible. You will have to put in a specific email address to filter the messages to junk. The good news is that you can add up to 500 rules to include many different address that are coming through.

Set up rules to filter email in Mail on iCloud.com

Apple does like hearing from their customers and we'd encourage you to submit this as feedback for a possible feature in the future at their official form here: Product Feedback - Apple

Best regards.

Is there a list of rules as examples I can learn from? For example, can we use quotes, can we use the asterisk, * it would be great if I could see a list of current rules and ways of setting up the filters.

Every day I get almost 1000 junk mails and it’s really annoying see attachment I would love to figure out rules to cut some of these out. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Hi heycorky,

There would not be a list of examples available. As noted before, you can't block all emails from the same domain. You may be able to set rules for words in the subject line or body. If you need more specific assistance, we suggest you contact Apple Support so that they can look into this with you further: Apple Support

Take care.
