iPad Mail help - iPad OS and Mac OS…

[Warped9]

There has to be a way.

Awhile ago I started getting bogus emails regarding a shipment on its way for delivery or waiting to be picked up or whatever. And these are always from places I’ve never heard of. They’re so obviously bogus given I know when I have ordered stuff and know how it’s being delivered.

Is there any way to stop getting these emails? I try blocking the senders and/or try having them go directly to Junk, but they don’t stop. Of course, these things are computer or robot generated phishing for someone gullible who will respond to them, but it’s freakin’ annoying dealing with a few of these every day.

There has to be a way to make it stop.

In my iPad's email All Inboxes folder, I select the unwanted email. Clicking the "From" sender should give the option to "Block this Contact". For me, that ends receiving any future emails from this sender on all my devices. Make sure in Settings/Mail, Blocked Sender Options is set to Move to Trash.

I do have blocked senders marked “move to trash,” but I keep getting emails. It’s like the senders keep getting changed and avoid being automatically moved to trash.

If the spam sender keeps changing their address, probably the best way is set up a rule in iCloud mail that identifies emails by a unique word or words in common in the spam emails subject line. Then have the rule move the emails to trash. Maybe others here have additional suggestions.

Caveat with that, spammers are creative and they use similar looking unicode characters as alternatives.

Honestly, I think it’s probably easier to just whitelist emails from known senders.
