Why Do Blocked Emails on the MacBook Pro end up Junk Mail

Spam is a way of life on the Internet

One a persons e-mail address is exposed on the Internet, there are Entities and Persons who harvest this information

Then, they Sell this info to Spammers

There have been some Data Leaks from some companies and personal info like e-mail addresses have been also Harvested and Sold to Spammers

I can say from personal experience that a former ISP had, did have leak and yes a former e-mail address I used would receive a ton of Spam

The Block Sender function does block the specific sender and does move it to the Junk Folder

At least that is working on 3 machines I use

Have only read some Other Contributors who have used this Third Party Application that is setup right - it just works as a Supplement to the Block Sender function

There is a free trail or Paid for arrangement .

There is no need to request from Apple

Block or unblock senders in Mail on Mac

If you don’t want to receive email messages from a specific person or group, you can block them. If you change your mind later, you can easily unblock them.

Block senders

1. In the Mail app  on your Mac, select a message from the sender you want to block.
2. Move the pointer next to their name in the message header, click the arrow, then choose Block Contact.
3. The Blocked icon  appears next to the sender’s name in the message list and a banner is added to their messages to indicate they’re blocked. The banner also provides a link to the Blocked pane of Mail settings, where you can manage blocked senders.

You can also add senders directly to the list of blocked senders. Choose Mail > Settings, click Junk Mail, then click Blocked.

Unblock senders

1. In the Mail app  on your Mac, select a message from the sender you want to unblock.
2. Move the pointer next to their name in the message header, click the arrow, then choose Unblock Contact.

You can also remove senders directly from the list of blocked senders. Choose Mail > Settings, click Junk Mail, then click Blocked.
