Spam - I want the ability to block all domains coming from ".uk"
I noticed that most of the spam that I receive comes from domains ending in ".co.uk" or ".org.uk" and I would like the ability to block domains that have those endings that are not in my address book or listed as approved senders. Is there a way to restrict these domains? Also, I would like AOL to return the option to block emails containing specific words or phrases. I have a paid account and it is very important to me that I be able to have the ability to restrict the excessive spam emails and emails containing ****** content. If AOL determines these are spam emails, they should be blocked completely. I do not want to have to keep wasting my time sifting through hundreds of spam emails in my spam folder when looking for something that may have slipped thru.

The filter system no longer works to block domain names. As a paying member, I had an AOL rep. attempt to modify a filter I had to block @prodigy.net.mx, from which vast amounts of fake OATH phishing come every day from different e-mail addresses. The AOL rep's change made no difference. If we pay for AOL service, we should be able to stop wasting time deleting all this garbage. Please return filter system settings to allow this; they used to work.

How do you block and send any email from a certain domain straight to the Trash Can? I get way too many emails from @*.us. * signifies a lot of different names. Too many to add each one, but they all end in .us.

Most of the spam Icoming in in the past 6 months have a .uk address. Do i want to discuss my credit score, VA claims or pretty much any thing from Robot.whatever@whoknows.uk.
I do believe AOL has the ability to sniff out these scammers without affecting the legitimate emails.
I have no problem with some censoring of garbage spam from garbage peddlers who are looking only to steal.
sites include @co.uk and org.uk
Also robot@craigslist.org is as bogus as can be.
Come on AOL you can fix this or you can just keep your head in the sand... Thinking head in the sand will be the response if any response happens...... -

could you please create a drop down category so we can block a site or domain or address with one click. I've tried filtering out but they get through anyway. Godaddy has a one click solution. i get solicitations to these nasty adult sites. I tried asking to be removed and it made it worse.

The people who use your service need a "Block this web site" as part of their email options. We are be daily harassed by many web sites that are offensive, obnoxious, and sell products which do not pertain to the person but fill up our email. Most of these emails come from a common website. There must be mass mailing websites on the internet which at best are annoying. If I could block them it would eliminate many annoyances with using email. I know there is a long complicated way to do this but there must be a way to set my computer to block the websites I want to block

Most of my spam mail ends with ".us". I have tried to block them using wild cards with no success. The rest of the address changes each time. It is annoying!

Start blocking .gdn email addresses, over 80% are spam. Allow one click blocking of spam. Allow wildcards to be used to block spam. Automatically block email addresses that I have deleted from my spam folder.

AOL, according to wiki, 86% of emails from .gdn are spam.
Why isn't this automatically being blocked?
And, why not a "one click" option to individually block email addresses? -

It appears AOL blocked the .us domain, now they're coming from .live. Please give us the ability to use wildcards for blocking email addresses.

you block the sender & they simply change the part before the domain. I have blocked numerous senders using the same domain! AOL needs to give us better options for spam blocking because the options we have now DON"T WORK! Domain blocking would be a great start. Come on AOL!!

For over 2 weeks I'm getting spammed from *.*.us domains. Please give us the ability to block spam using wildcards. The address keeps changing except for the .us.The other option would be for AOL to block it entirely. It's all spam.
I agree also...Want the option to block an entire domain -

Ability to block just the first part of the address such as "Newsletter". All of my spam now comes from this POS. It may say '******* Windows', but the real address always starts with "newsletter".

The idea is to block all emails coming from newsletters@ and ending with .us. I don't even want them going to spam. I get more than twenty every single day. PLEASE ALLOW US TO COMPLETELY BLOCK EMAILS LIKE THIS. I have given up typing in each individual address each and every day because the next day there are even more!!!! Stop this insanity!!!

I have the same issue with the .us spam. I put in a filter for *@*.us and I don't think it will work. I tried it with another domain using the wildcard and they still came in. We used to be able to do this.
