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.

Well since AOL is now part of Yahoo, you can expect even more spam junk since Yahoo is the king of spam and junk mail.

Most of the junk that ends up in my spam folder has the .club address. I don't know if this is a new thing. I also don't know that why, as a paid subscriber, I have to go through the process of typing all these addresses into the block senders list. After the weekend this could be in the hundreds.

The original comment above appears to have been posted in November 2018, which means that as I write this in May 2020, you have been "gathering feedback" on the ninth ranked issue for over a year and a half. When does "gathering feedback" turn into action? We get a lot of spam and for the last several months about 70% of them came from the .host domain. Then at the end of April 2020 the .host domain was suddenly replaced by the .club domain such that 70% of spam now comes from .club. We would like the ability to block domains in our spam settings.

you must stop all the emails from .host from getting through (even into my spam folder). they are all illegitimate, SPAM or worse. Or give me the power to do so. They keep changing their specific email addresses, so we MUST stop everything with .host. Make it happen.

Indeed, that is how AOL Desktop operated for years before Gold (OATH).

I do NOT want to receive ANY ****** messages! I have already blocked a few 15 to 25 ids followed by yahoo.co.jp. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO SPEND 15 MINUTES TO TRANSFER SUCH E-MAIL ADDRESS TO YOUR BLOCK BOX. I also do show *@yahoo.co.jp in your block box. I guess it doesn't mean a **** thing to you! I DO NOT WANT TO RECEIVE ANY MORE ****** MESSAGES! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

Block .host!!! It is all spam!!!! We used to be able to block from certain domains! Why can you not make spam blocking easier. Why does it take 10 steps to do it!!! Why not make it like other providers and have a block button and that is it.

We used to be able to filter out spam by using *.host. I want that feature back.

I’d like to Block Domain Extensions.
It seems (my assessment only) that after visiting Home Advisor and Houzz that the spam explosion has commenced.
The thing that all of the spam has in common is that they all have the domain extension .hostI’d like the ability to block any incoming mail from that extension. Any thoughts?

Tired of signing tin to my AOL email and seeing Spam folder showing 10-15 emails where there were few to none prior. Most are from *.host. Have tried to block many ways but the a**holes still get through.
Remember AOL is now owned by Verizon and would like us all to go away or convert to Yahoo.
They care little about you and me. -

you need to block all .host emails from getting through, even to my spam folder. these emails are deliberately "bullsh&*t" an SPAM. Since you won't give us the control, you need to take action or I'm dumping my aol email and your legitimate advertisers will have to find me elsewhere.
