Blocked Sender ?

I have COX and received an e-mail which went to my SPAM folder correctly. I then selected block sender. The response was that the e-mail address was already set to block.

Why would it even show up if the sender was blocked?

    Hi @ChasR
    Marking as spam does not block a sender from emailing you. To add new email addresses to your blocked list, go to your Inbox, place a check in the box next to the email, then click the More actions icon. From the More actions drop-down menu, click Block sender. You can also create a Filter Rule to route the mail address into a specific folder.

      This issue was because an email was in Spam File and also marked as a blocked address. If an address is marked as BLOCKED, shouldn't it not show at all?

        Since we had an email maintenace the night before last you may need to recreate the rule to block that address again.
