How to block email adddress to recieve any mail
To block an email address from receiving any mail, you can follow these steps:
Method 1: Using your email provider's settings
- Log in to your email account.
- Look for the "Settings" or "Options" button, usually located at the top right corner of the screen.
- Click on "Filters" or "Blocked Senders" and then click on "Add a filter" or "Add a blocked sender".
- Enter the email address you want to block in the "From" field.
- Choose the action you want to take when an email is received from this address, such as "Delete" or "Mark as spam".
- Click "Save" or "Apply" to save the changes.
Method 2: Using a third-party email client
- Open your email client (e.g. Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird).
- Go to the "Tools" or "Settings" menu and select "Account Settings" or "Email Accounts".
- Click on the "Junk E-mail" or "Spam" tab.
- Click on "Add" or "New" and enter the email address you want to block.
- Choose the action you want to take when an email is received from this address, such as "Delete" or "Mark as spam".
- Click "OK" or "Apply" to save the changes.
Method 3: Using a browser extension
- Install a browser extension such as "Email Blocker" or "Spam Blocker" from the Chrome Web Store or Mozilla Add-ons.
- Follow the extension's instructions to block an email address.
Method 4: Using a DNS-based solution
- Go to your domain registrar's website (e.g. GoDaddy, Namecheap).
- Look for the "DNS" or "Domain Name System" settings.
- Add a new DNS record with the following settings:
- Type: TXT
- Name: _spf
- Value: v=spf1 a mx include:your-email-provider.com ~all
- This will block all emails from the specified email address.
Note: The above methods may not work for all email providers or clients, and some may require additional setup or configuration. Additionally, blocking an email address may not be 100% effective, as spammers can use different email addresses or tactics to bypass the block.
