I'm still receiving email from blocked senders along with a message saying the email is from a blocked sender. How does one actually block blocked senders?
MacBook Air 2022 )S 14.2
Here's an example
MacBook Air (M2, 2022)
In Mail, you can choose what to do with these messages, in Mail->Preferences->Junk Mail->Blocked.
It seems that you have set it to keep the message and mark as blocked; change it to move to trash:

You can not do any more that what you have done.
Unless you can perhaps log into the Web Portal of your e-mail Account Servers Web Portal
Some e-mail Servers may or may not offer Server Side Blocking
Then the Spammer's e-mail will never reach your inBox
What about the suggestion from @ Luis Sequeira1
Slightly different Illustration
Although you may have Enabled Junk and Blocked the Sender
Until the Move to Junk is also Enabled - well the mail will still appear in Inbox
Did that early on plus uncheck "Sender of message in in my Previous Recipients" So folks sending junkmail are blocked even if they have already sent an email.

If we understand " "Sender of message in in my Previous Recipients" correctly.
Previous Recipients are e-mail Sender whom you have previous replied to.
Whether they be in your contacts of the Contacts Application or not listed.
That, in and of itself, is basically shooting oneself in the foot.
The moment we reply to a Spammer - that Validates that your e-mail address is active and a working e-mail address.
Exactly what they have wanted to achieve
So, not matter how much precautions and effort is put in to Block the Spammers e-mail address, they will continue to spam your address.
Thank you for the information. It's interesting that the emails are blocked online on iCloud.com and on my iPhone but only appear in the Mac mail app and that the app recognizes them as blocked but does not block them. I'll assume there's no way to access "Web Portal of your e-mail Account Servers Web Portal" on iCloud." If only "rules" worked that would help.
Set up rules to filter email in Mail on iCloud.com
Though, even those rules will not Totally Block the sender and only identify the Offending Sender
You may follow along with suggestion from previous Contributor
No doubt we wonder how did the Spammer every get our e-mail address ?
Social Media sites are a great vector to Harvest E-Mail address
I was very surprised about my own e-mail address so I used the below link
Low and Behold, some of the Data Breaches came from some Large Software Developers and even from my ISP
The point being, once the e-mail address in in the Wild, we are Open Targets
Only as an example of how the Block Sender filter should work
Notice the red circle with bar through it ?
Notice the Blocked Sender is automatically captured / identified and " Moved to Junk " folder ?
Humour here - how did they know I sometimes have Poor Posture when at the computers lol
Thanks, but that's about the first thing I checked.
In Mac mail how do you block blocked senders
