blocking incoming email accounts

I have suddenly been deluged with apparently undeliverable mail sent elsewhere but returned to my email address from Hotmail. I am neither a subscriber/member of Hotmail, nor of Windows Live.


How do I simply block a sender from my email inbox? With the PC there was an ability to name senders, but I cannot find the same on my iMac.

If there's is something unique in the header (from hotmail?) you could make a rule to filter the stuff to mail's junk or trash. But you cannot simply block it from coming in.


Most isp's have mail servers where you can specify filtering for the server so that it never reaches you. It's generally provided through some web page set up by the isp to enable mail filtering. You would need to check with your isp about that.
