I've managed to create a filter rule for Trusted Meds. The one that is totally useless are the incessant emails for Cannabis Oil. I've created rules that send any mail containing the phrase in the From, Subject, or Body to spam. It seems to work, but only 80% of the time. Then they got hip and changed it to CBD Oil, so I blocked that, but a few still come through, so I shortened it to just CBD, so I'm going to see how that works. What drives me nuts is that there's a limit on the number of addresses that you can block, and I've hit top end, so now I just have to send to Spam. The limit of the number of email addresses that can be blocked must be removed; these emails are a daily occurrence, much as the incessant robocalls from, the same 2 numbers.

yes. blocking emails is to no avail. i am no hacker, but i think they've got an algorithm for generating email addresses (my son would know for sure!) and i figured out pretty quick that blocking emails was a "wack-a-mole" game! it's better to make a rule that contains a subject...like "warranty."i am talking about "filter rules." do you know what i mean? i can explain if you need me to.

now your cooking with gas!!
in Thunderbird you just click the email and tell thunderbird it's junk and move it to the junk folder but even with that type of filtering you have to do it a few times till t-bird catches on
then I move all the emails to the spam folder now the new ones come in so I check the spam folder and forward as attachments every last one of them (example trusted meds I have 120 of them saved when a new one shows up in the spam folder. I forward as attachments every one of them back to cox) so every new one they get them all. you can imagine the number of spam emails I have saved just to send to cox daily)

Hey JP what email program do you use? I use thunderbird mail (its free) and have never had any limits to the blocking of emails. if your using anything else you might want to try it.

I just updated yesterday to Thunderbird. I was using the default Windows 10 one, but to create filters, I had to go to the Cox email app to create filter rules. So far it’s been pretty good.
