How to block spam

I get lots of spam mail and cannot seem to find how to block it in my email.  I am able to sent it to a spam folder but there is no way to block any addressess.   Thoughts?

Who's your mail provider? I've got Google Mail at work and iCloud (Apple) mail for private use, and both do a pretty good job of filtering. That's probably the most robust solution, prevent the crap from getting accepted by the server.
If that's not an option and you're left with having to do the filtering at the inbox level, SpamSieve is a very lauded solution, but is not free ( http://c-command.com/spamsieve/ ). The free SpamAssassin was purportedly just as good, but is somewhat complex to set up and is probably not compatible with Mountain Lion yet ( http://spamassassin.apache.org/ )

    How to block spam email sender on iMac ?

    You can setup a Junk mail filter in Mail preferences, it will still enter your mailbox but be under a Junk folder. You can then check and if required delete the mail.
    In this web page note the option of applying the filter via webmail on an IMAP server such as iCloud.

    Another option is a commercial filter for Mail, this one but I know nothing about this software, a google search will probably find others.

  • How to block Spam text from random number

    So, here's the story. I somehow (knowingly or unknowingly) touched & dialled a number from an adult content app and then hung up. Since that day, I keep getting text msgs from different numbers, with lewd text & asking me to call a number (constant across all these sms-es). I block the number using MyVerizon number blocking service; but in 2-3 days I get similar text, asking me to call the same number, from a different number. I keep on blocking this new number (from where the text came) and they keep on sending same text from a different number. This keep on increasing my text bill.
    Is there any way to stop this nonsense?
    If I reply to one of those texts saying "STOP", as the verizon customer care rep suggested, wouldn't that flag my number as LIVE and they'll start sending me more texts?
    How about using sms blocker apps? Again, question there is - do the sms blocker apps just delete spam msgs upon receiving and will I still incur the sms cost in my bill?
    Please advice. I'm totally frustrated about this...

    As for app I can say that anyway texts are coming to your phone...I have got Call Control installed and I even wrote to their tech support. I got an answer that it is just impossible not to direct texts to your phone. And not one app does this. Yes, you will not see them if the number is blocked, but texts will be there.
    In some situations it is even comfortable - if I block someone's number so that he or she doesn't call but still want to read texts)))

  • How to block spam sms in iPhone for India? Any solution?

    I get far more annoyed with text message spam than I do with email spam. My iPhone (unlocked) dings every time I receive a text message, and I check it as soon as I can. I really, really resent the intrusion when it’s spam. And of course there’s the cost. I don’t pay per text message, but when I am in international roaming I do. I searched every nook and cranny on the iPhone to find a way to block the spam, to no avail. Suggestions in different web forum like contacting the service provider (in my case its Vodafone India) did not help. My friends using other mobile service companies like Airtel says the situation is the same. So no point changing service provider. There is one application iBlacklist which I purchased but was a waste of 2 dollars as it does not work in India (see the complaints of the cheated customers in the app store). Is there any iphone application which will allow me to block the spams while still able to receive sms from friends and relatives. I know that my issue is not a new one but honestly, I have tried out everything and have not found an effective solution that works in Indian setting. Many thanks for your suggestions.

    I am lucky lucky because up to now I have had very few Spam SMS'.
    I give out my cell phone number as little as possible.
    The following article may give you some tips about prventing spam SMS:

  • Blocking Spam Email

    Greetings! Can anyone share how to block spam email on the iPhone? I have the spam email blocked on my pop email account but it is not blocking it once delivered to my iphone.

    You should ask your email account provider why they don't have an adequate junk mail filter available at the incoming mail server.
    The iPhone's mail client does not include a junk mail filter and even if it did, it wouldn't match the junk mail learned settings with the junk mail filter used with the email client on your computer.
    With an IMAP account, you can store the account's junk mailbox on the server, which will be available and kept synchronized with the server automatically when accessing the account with the iPhone's mail client. Keep the email client on your computer launched and running actively checking the account for new messages - checking for new messages every 5 minutes. Any message that is marked as junk with the junk mail filter used with the email client on your computer and moved to the account's junk mailbox stored on the server will be reflected automatically when checking the account with the iPhone's mail client - all server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
    So in effect, you have a junk mail filter available with the iPhone's mail client that is being handled with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account.
    This is not possible with a POP account, which is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.

  • Tons of spam from .US addresses. How to block but allow legitimate .us address through?

    Hello all
    Exchange 2010 on-premise. I don't have the budget to sign up with a spam filter service so I'm struggling with using Exchange's built-in spam filtering.
    I've been monitoring user's inbox reporting high volume of spam. The one consistency is that the addresses end with .us
    Problem is, we have some customers using .us e-mail addresses.
    The spam email with .us changes daily. Meaning one day spam address might be amazondeals.us next day it's amazon-deals.us
    I can't keep up with all the variations. Is there a way to block .us but allow the legitimate ones?

    Hi,
    According to your description, I understand that you want to block .us address suffix also allow the legitimate ones.
    If I misunderstand you concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    How you deploy spam and anti in your environment, sender filter? More details about Anti-Spam and Antivirus Mail Flow, for your reference:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997242(v=exchg.141).aspx
    Regardless of what you are building spam filter, please add Whatif parameter. For example:
    Set-SenderFilterConfig -BlankSenderBlockingEnabled $true -BlockedDomainsAndSubdomains * amazondeals.us -Whatif “a@ amazondeals.us”

  • How to block or stop hundreds of mail delivery notices that I did not send

    how to block hundreds of incoming email delivery notices that I did not send out

    It sounds as though someone hacked into your email account and/or the account of one of your friends and stole email addresses to use as sender and recipient for spam messages.
    Since the damage is already done so to speak, there isn't a whole lot to do but: do change your email address and send out an email to your friends that the other emails are not from you and not to open or click on anything contained in them.
    Unfortunately, this is happening more and more.

  • How to Block send e-mail by telnet using Exchange 2010

    Hi
    I have Exchange 2010 SP3 server (Edge and Database servers).
    When i logon to exchange server: telnet mail.domain.com 25using commands:
    mail from:[email protected]
    rcpt to:[email protected]
    I can send e-mails without password.
    How to block it? What is wrong with this server settings?
    Kind Regards Tomasz

    you can change the receive connector that is listening on port 25 to require authentication removing the anonymous the problem will be every server that sends you email will need to have a password on your server so  you will not receive email
    form anyone unless they have the password configured if you only want to receive email on this server from another trusted server than this is how you do it, otherwise you need to leave anonymous access enabled. Spam appliances sometimes will be the only server
    allowed to send to your exchange server, but the spam appliance will have anonymous access allowed on port 25 so it can get the email. Typically the distribution of port 25 traffic is handled at the firewall and it's either sending port 25 traffic to
    your email server or a spam appliance.
