How to redirect certain mail to spam

The eternal struggle against spam!

There are a few ways to redirect certain emails to the spam folder, depending on your email provider and the level of control you have over your email settings. Here are some general steps:

Method 1: Using email filters

1. Log in to your email account and go to the settings or options page.
2. Look for the "Filters" or "Rules" section and click on it.
3. Create a new filter or rule with the following conditions:
   • Apply the filter to incoming emails.
   • Use a specific keyword or phrase in the subject or body of the email.
   • Move the email to the "Spam" or "Junk" folder.
4. Save the filter and test it by sending an email with the specified keyword or phrase to your account.

Method 2: Using sender blacklists

1. Check if your email provider has a built-in sender blacklist or a list of known spam senders.
2. Look for the "Block" or "Blacklist" option and add the sender's email address or domain to the list.
3. Save the changes and test it by sending an email from the blacklisted sender to your account.

Method 3: Using third-party spam filters

1. Install a third-party spam filter plugin or extension for your email client (e.g., Mozilla Thunderbird, Microsoft Outlook).
2. Configure the plugin to scan your emails for spam and move suspicious emails to the spam folder.
3. Update the plugin regularly to ensure you receive the latest spam filtering updates.

Method 4: Using email client settings

1. Check your email client's settings for a "Spam" or "Junk" folder.
2. Look for an option to "Mark as Spam" or "Move to Spam" and enable it.
3. When you receive an email that you think is spam, mark it as spam using the email client's interface.
4. The email client will then move the email to the spam folder and help train its spam filtering algorithms.

Some popular email providers and their spam filtering options:

• Gmail: Use the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" page to create custom filters.
• Outlook.com: Use the "Safe Senders" and "Blocked Senders" lists to manage spam.
• Yahoo Mail: Use the "Spam" folder and "Mark as Spam" option to report spam emails.
• ProtonMail: Use the "Spam" folder and "Mark as Spam" option to report spam emails.

Remember that no spam filtering method is 100% effective, and some spam emails may still slip through. However, by using a combination of these methods, you can significantly reduce the amount of spam you receive.
