It's absolutely critical that you allow re-allow wildcards to block spam mail and increase the number of blocks to 10,000 or more!

Been a subscriber since 1995! It's absolutely critical that you allow re-allow wildcards to block spam mail and increase the number of blocked senders to 10,000, or more!

    I’m receiving Phishing Emails. Where do I forward emails?

  • Chance Master commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why does the entry to block "*@*.info" display an Invalid message?
    Is this method of blocking SPAM no longer supported?
    For example, spam from
    "foru@high.com"
    "foru@low.com"
    I would like to enter foru@*.com but get invalid address.
    Notice URL in " " gets turned into a link, but previous sentence "URL" does not.

    Either vastly increase the capacity of blocked emails beyond 1000, or allow clearing of OLDEST blocked emails to make room for the newer ones

  • Guy Johnson commented  ·   ·  Report

    EVERY username @ofefrdtops, @offeestor, @onlinesdeals [.com/.info/.net/.org] is SPAM. I get these a lot. Can I ask you not to send these to my Spam folder, or let me use a wild card(eg *@) for the username to block the ENTIRE domain. thx for your consideration

  • Andrew Guzniczak commented  ·   ·  Report

    its to your advantage to increase the block number feature. so far i get more from yahoo people spoofing. since this is part of the family with this web site you could shut those down and increase efficiency for both misuse and lower the blocking problem.

    Spam is out of control. There aren't enough filters to stop them all. I have tried adding things to block as word phrases and that doesn't help either. Please help stop them. Some of them are disgusting even in the subject line. Help us rid of them.

  • AJ Merz commented  ·   ·  Report

    This. There should be no limits on blocks!!!

    Also, I'm noticing when I leave my aol mail tab open I get more than triple the amount of spam compared to when I just check and log out. This is even the case on other aol emails I have that I have NEVER given out before- The only way this can be happening is if AOL itself is using "spam" as a means for ITS OWN advertising purposes.

    Filters do not work, and have never worked.

    Please consider increasing the number of BLOCKED email addresses. You currently cap the number of blocked addresses at 1,000. Due to the increased number of spam emails- PLEASE increase the number to unlimited

    I just spent 27 minutes on AOL phone support trying to get a status update on this issue, and your representative hung up the phone? If you add up item #9, #49, #55, #98, and the one I posted #913- this is most likely your number one issue. Please provide an update. The volume of SPAM email is growing daily.

  • STEVE FITZPATRICK commented  ·   ·  Report

    I notice this issue is listed several times under slightly different titles. In addition to the this item ranked number 9, please add ranked item number 49, 56 and 913.....I believe this would become your NUMBER ONE issue.

    SO once again aol is starting again to allow offensive email in my email, for along time no issue but now they turn down the blockage of these email and does nothing about them.

  • Maddalena Nappi Reidy commented  ·   ·  Report

    I know to view the raw message, do a search for the IP address, find the location and carrier and there is usually an "abuse" email which you can use to report the spammer. I believe I was up to almost 100 per day and I cut it down considerably. Now a huge site has been hacked with millions of emails and I was one of them. The spammers have been returning with many from fr which I believe is France. It is very time consuming to go through so many steps. Can't you do anything to help us? Thank you!

    Once again yet another issue that's ignored and remains unresolved... BUT let's pretend and gather feedback... Although it could be that there's no one left to do anything...

  • Steven Benner commented  ·   ·  Report

    I probably have 100 email addresses block for duckdns.org and more are coming every day. Offeestor.com and offeestor.net are joining the band wagon of domains changing email addresses constantly. The use of wildcards to block entire domains and even subdomains is critical!

  • STEVEN BENNER commented  ·   ·  Report

    Allowing the use of wildcards would give me the ability to block entire domains. There are some spam senders who now are changing the username for each new message. This very quickly makes the 1000 email address blocking limite meaningless as well as blocking by exact address no longer feasible. Is there some financial incentive for allowing all these spam messages?

  • ANITA FAIR commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why don't AOL just block the most obvious spam instead of sending it to my spam folder? If AOL aren't prepared to do that, why can't AOL allow wild cards, i.e. info@*,?
