keep getting spam from "blocked" senders
I keep getting SPAM in my folder from @kellykat.com. I've blocked these emails multiple time, but still they come. I'm getting more and more SPAM in my inbox, which I move to SPAM. You always ask if I want to "unsubscribe." I never subscribed to these domains. They are just trying to get AOL to give them legitimate email addresses. Wise up!
Hi. We're sorry to hear you're receiving spam emails! We have some solutions for you, please refer to this article to learn how to best manage unwanted emails: https://help.aol.com/articles/aol-mail-spam-and-privacy We also added additional security features for AOL Mail: https://help.aol.com/articles/additional-security-features-in-aol-mail Moreover, the block feature is best used for people, not spam, since spammers can use spoofed accounts. This means, what you see and add to your blocked list might not be the actual sender address. If you need assistance, you can reach out to us at https://help.aol.com/contact/
Thank you!

Allow domain blocking. I have tried various filters to get rid of persistent spammers. The current one always features confermetsarah as part of the domain, or has owner in the first part of the senders address - can you just not block this and let all your genuine users get on with their life.

Numerous important emails have been routinely sent to my SPAM folder.
The search function didn't identify them. I was forced to sort through HUNDREDS of spam emails to find them.
Especially annoying is the inability to sort ANY folder by email address, which makes searches MUCH easier -

Every day I find items from Substack contributors I subscribe to in Spam. I dutifully mark them as Not Spam thereby moving them to Inbox, but your system continues to treat subsequent items as Spam. Frankly it’s worse finding legitimate mail in Spam than spam in Inbox.

Spam arriving in mailbox. Legitimate mail going to spam. Never ends.

your blocking thang works until a hacker has figured out how to send spam that does not show an email address and then your block does not work. I have had a long process to get you to hear me and I deleted the raw message I sent in my complain messages. if you can go back and find my complaints to customer service you can see how he is screwing your blocking system. other wise I will save the next one and you can notify me you want it

I have lots of email addresses I've blocked over the years and one is attached to my cell phone account. I accidentally blocked it and now I cannot unblock it. I've been struggling for a year to get this fixed.

I get absolutely loads of spam emails but they mostly come from only a handful of domain names

Block domain names in spam rather than having to block each of the various spam email addresses from that domain

Stop allowing unknown senders e-mail from going to spam filter and not being able to block those e-mails

AOL headers clearly reveal when a spammer spoofs a recipient's email address. STOP DELIVERING SPOOFS!
It's embarrassing that a client has to reveal such common sense discrepancies to you -- especially at $30 / month.

You have the worst email service in the entire world. You should be begging people to keep uning it.

Since about two weeks ago, the spam folder has been filling up every single day with new spam/phishing material. The filter into the spam folder is working, but why is this not being taken care of even before it reaches my aol address? they should be blocked up front by aol after I have designated them as spam and allowoed them to stay in the spam folder and then deleted them. Something is not working in aol, or I would not still be seeing new spam emails every single day. Is there there suddenly a flood of spam and phishing emails arriving now, suddenly?
