Blocking emails from a particular address

Is it possible to block emails that come from a specific address? For example, is it possible to block an email from a particular gmail address, and have that email bounce back to the sender?

How to block email from a specific address?

What are the steps required to block email?

Hi johnav,
Although I'm not finding a setting to block an "incoming" email address like you can for FaceTime calls but you can set up a rule to automatically delete email from a particular email.
Use rules to manage your inbox - Mail Help
Would that work for you?

Spamcop blocks email from @tiscali.co.uk addresses to hpeprint.com

Printing to [email protected] works fine from @gmail.com and @hotmail.com addresses but Spamcop blocks email from @tiscali.co.uk addresses (TalkTalk webmail)

Some emails from a particular sender causing Outlook 2010 to hang, task manager shows memory use spikes

Posting this to the Exchange forum because I'm hoping there's a server-side solution.
SOME emails received from an external sender (gmail.com address, not sure the mail client) are causing Outlook 2010 to hang when trying to open the email. Outlook becomes non-responsive when viewing the email through the preview pane or by double-clicking
the email. If I open Task Manager I see that the outlook.exe process memory use starts increasing very quickly. As far as I know the only resolution is to end the task and re-open Outlook (and avoid that email).
I've found several excellent threads on these same symptoms, but there seems to be a variety of causes. I've tried a bunch of things so far:
- Tried opening from another system on our network running Outlook 2010, same issue.
- Tried opening from OWA, opens fine.
- Tried exporting the email to a PST, then opening from a completely different system outside of our network, but still running Outlook 2010, same issue.
- Tried exporting the email to a PST then opening from a completely different system outside of our network, running Outlook 2013, email opens fine.
- Tried setting Outlook to open all emails as PLAIN TEXT, opens fine.
Systems are running the latest Outlook 2010 SP and patches, and running a variety of OS's. Only common denominator seems to be Outlook 2010.
I was hoping to find a way to convert incoming emails from this sender to open as Plain Text using a Hub Transport rule, but cannot find a way to do it.
Unfortunately I have no control over the sender, so don't know what could be triggering the problem.
Can anyone advise on a possible solution? Any way to someone convert emails from a particular sender to Plain Text automatically?

Either you inform the sender to configure in sender's outlook to send only to you in plain text please check this
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/outlook-help/change-the-message-format-to-html-rich-text-or-plain-text-HA101992313.aspx
Or
Call a macro in your outlook example below. Please check
this for details
Dim msg As MailItem
For Each msg In myNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
If msg.Unread = True And _
msg.SenderName = "Linda Cooper" Then
Item.BodyFormat = olFormatPlain
Else
' Message doesn't meet criteria.
End If

Why am I not getting email from one particular sender? .

Hi all,
Hope you can help because I am stumped. A few days after installing Mountain Lion (not that I think that necessarily has anything to do with it), I stopped receiving email from a particular sender. The email from this person is very important, so I've been trying to figure out what's going on. He is in my Contact list. I have received email from his successfully for months. We did some testing yesterday. I think the email is coming in, then being deleted immediately. I hear a little ding in the background when he sends me something, but it doesn't make it into any of my inboxes.
I have temporarily disabled junk mail filtering. I also can't find a setting that indicates to delete anything automatically. I am at a loss.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much!
Sharon

Go to Mail Preferences, and click the "Rules" icon. Make sure there are no rules that move these messages to another folder (you can just uncheck the rules to deactivate them).
Also try searching for the sender's email address to see if it turns up - be sure to click "All" in the mailbox row after typing his address in the search box.
And depending on what email service you use, you may want to check to make sure there are no "rules" or "filters" in the web site - for instance if you use gmail, you can set up filters in gmail that "archive" a message before Apple mail ever sees it - the mail is still there, you just wouldn't see it in your inbox. The only way to fix it is to log in through the gmail web site.
Another possibility is that you accidentally turned on "threaded" mail view, which is extremely confusing if you don't expect it. Instead of grouping by date, the messages will be grouped by subject line - and if the person sending this message is replying to an old message of yours, it will continually group those new messages together with the old ones. Click the "View" menu, and check to see if the "Organize by conversations" option is turned on or off. Or maybe it's even simpler - maybe your mail is no longer sorted by date - what does it say at the top of the list of messages?
Of course there's alwys the possibility that he has the wrong email address in his contacts, so keeps sending to the wrong address over and over again. He should try manually typing your full email address, and not accepting the "autofilled" suggestion.

ICloud is blocking emails from my website

I work for a company that is similar to eBay in that we act as a venue for registered members to sell collectible LEGO items. I work behind the Help Desk and have received many similar complaints from iCloud (@me.com) email addresses. These users continue to complain that they are not receiving email notifications regarding invoices for orders. I called Apple but was on hold for so long, I had to get back to work and gave up.
What I am wondering is if Apple is blocking emails from our website. I would really appreciate it if an Apple representative could contact me regarding this issue, as it is causing a lot of frustration with our community members. We have had to ask users to sign-up for Gmail accounts to receive correspondence, because we simply cannot come up with another solution. Is it possible that we are blacklisted? We did send out promotional emails over Christmas and I am worried we were blacklisted as SPAM senders. Please help me out here, it's not easy being behind the Help Desk when you are 100% sure the problem is not on your end and you can't do anything about it. Thanks!

FiOS IPS server suspected of blocking emails from Constant Contact

My homeowners assocation cannot get emails through to me at {edited for privacy}, but they do get emails through to my wife at {edited for privacy}. These emails are administered by Constant Contact, who suspect the FiOS servers of blocking emails to me. They suggest that I send you the following information:
To: Verizon ISP Customer Support
Subject: Remove Constant Contact Block
Hello. My name is {edited for privacy} and I understand that you employ filters and/or blacklists to protect customers like myself from unsolicited email; however, this might have made it impossible for me to receive certain information that I have solicited. I value these communications and would like to receive them using my AOL email address.
The sender of these emails uses an email marketing service called Constant Contact. Constant Contact is not an open relay and has strict anti-spam policies in place. Possibly because your filters block emails from Constant Contact I am unable to receive these communications.
I ask that you please help me determine why these emails are being blocked. For further information about Constant Contact or to request more information from them such as log files, the Operations team can be reached at - {edited for privacy}.
Mail from Constant Contact can be found by the following characteristics for whitelisting:
"Envelope from:" domains:
@in.constantcontact.com
@in.confirmedcc.com
Sending IPs:
All mail from Constant Contact is sent from:
IP Range: 208.75.123.0 - 208.75.123.255
Please contact me when this problem has been resolved at {edited for privacy}.
Sincerely, {edited for privacy}

Cannot send email to one particular address

I've lost the ability to send emails to my work email address, it seems to have stopped working in the last 30 days or so. I can receive emails from the work address to my personal address, but sending from the personal address to work doesn't work. The emails are not returned as undeliverable. I have Verizon FIOS as my provider, I have tried sending email to my work address from their web email interface and it works fine, so the problem lies in Thunderbird. Anyone have an idea what has happened? I'm not having an issue sending or receiving to any other address.

''Matt [[#answer-667247|said]]''
<blockquote>
It is just a shame Verizon employ support that is not.
Sending from Thunderbird uses a completely different set of protocols and procedures to web mail.
Sending from Thunderbird is analogous to sending snail mail by dropping it in a pillar box in your street corner. Sending using web mail is more like going to the local mail sorting house and dropping the mail into the truck delivering to the city your sent your mail to.
In my analogy there is one huge difference, your anti virus program does not scan outgoing web mails, it does not even see them as mails. The same goes for incoming mail.
So when support people start blaming outlook or Thunderbird and saying it must be the problem, what they are really saying is they actually know nothing more about mail than you do, they have arrived at the end of their script and your have no resolution, so please go away.
We try to do a little better here, but sometimes we can't. Verizon have access to the outgoing servers, they could tell you if your mail ever actually leaves their system, we can only guess.
So what is the mail server your sending to? Is the outgoing mail address your work one?
When you right click on the account name in the folder tree and select settings. On the bottom right is the outgoing SMTP server for the account. Is it what your think it is?
</blockquote>
The outgoing mail address is to my work email, it's @us.ibm.com, I checked the SMTP server name, it is outgoing.verizon.net which is correct.
You're right about Verizon support, once I was able to send via their web interface, they were pretty much done with me....and I pay for that support too...
This is probably going to end up being something simple, at least i hope so, but at the moment it's very frustrating...

Mail app crashes when receiving email from a particular sender

HI All,
Here is a problem I'm facing, Mail App crashes while receiving email from a particular sender. I'm testing our new Email Hosting solution "Rackspace" and it works fine with all other Email clients or on deveices (Android, Windows Phone & Blackbarry) but on Iphone 4s (IOS 6.1.4, i guess) it crashes the Mail App.
The email I'm using is sending over to an email at ttv-asia.com domain. The user of ttv-asia.com is based in China and just to see if the problem is with the Iphone, I've tested the Iphone's Mail App in Hong Kong and it works normal.
So now... Im confused and have no Idea on how ro fix this.

Sorted, it seems that livemail configured for exchange and having Google premier for exchange, results in the mail app on the iPhone crashing, when selecting an email in the Google exchange mail box, then calling up the folders , it crashes. switched off livemail mail, worked fine.
Weird.

I am using Mail 5.3 with two separate gmail addresses. One is personal the other is business. When I send emails from the business address, any auto-replies I get COME TO THE PERSONAL INBOX. I imagine that this is a setting? Please help!

I am using Mail 5.3 with two separate gmail addresses.
One is personal the other is business.
When I send emails from the BUSINESS address, any auto-replies/out of office notices I get come to my PERSONAL INBOX.
I imagine that this is a setting? Please help!

Edit the SMTP server list. Add a new one for the business account. Put the correct password and information for it. Give it a description so you will know which server is which. Mke sure the correct server is highlighted in the account selected and check the box to use only that server for that account. Do that for the other account also.

HT5312 after I entered the password of my iCloud ID, it prompted out asking me to check email from an emai address that I did not set for rescure and then I cannot login? now my iPhone has got all the cotacts lost.

after I entered the password of my iCloud ID, it prompted out asking me to check email from an emai address that I did not set for rescure? and then I cannot login.

Try going to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Why Apple is blocking email from reaching my mac email account that I would like to receive. How do I correct this?

Apple is blocking email from reaching my mac email account that I would like to receive. How do I correct this? There are some important emails that I am not receiving because they never make it to my inbox or even my spam account.

Hey there MikeMach,
It sounds like people are sending you emails but they never arrive to your inbox or your Junk folder. According to the following article you may need to reach out to iCloud support directly for assistance:
iCloud: Identifying and filtering junk mail
Due to the complexity of accurately detecting and filtering out junk mail, on rare occasions a legitimate email from a friendly source may be blocked from reaching your Inbox. This is called a false positive.
If you feel that a legitimate email message was inadvertently filtered, you may want to ask your friend to send a follow-up email to verify that the issue exists. If you notice that multiple email messages are being delayed, bounced, or not delivered, contact iCloud Support. Also make sure to check your Junk folder for email messages that were incorrectly marked as junk mail. To check your Junk folder at iCloud.com, choose the Mail application and click the Junk folder in the sidebar. Email messages in the Junk folder are automatically deleted after 30 days.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Hello Tonchee
If you are seeing an Apple ID that is not yours, then you have purchased content on your iPad that is tied to that Apple ID. You would need to know that password or remove the content that is associated with that Apple ID.

Would like emails from a particular sender to automatically get exported to a text file or appended to an existing text file on my hard drive

Emails from a particular sender I would like to get appended to a single or to multiple csv or text files.
I think I've read that Mozilla can use filters to get all emails from a particular sender put in a particular folder.
That might be useful but does not get me all the way to goal.
I've also read about 3rd party plugins that give you export options through additional menu options
However, I need something that just automatically exports (without me having to be there and does not require any mouse commands) whenever an email from a particular sender shows up. And that exports to a csv or txt file.
thanks for any time you spend on this question.
Chris

ok I answered my own question on this one.
According to Filtaquilla online documentation:
''(Beginning in Filtaquilla version 1.3.0): By default, the message is saved with the default Thunderbird extension .eml The filter will use a different extension if you append to the file spec a | followed by the extension. So for example if the filespec is C:\temp\saveas\ for the default extension type, change this to C:\temp\saveas\|txt and the extension will be “txt”.''
I was able to verify this works in my test.
