Blocking spam by the end of the email address like @......
Blocking senders is great but the Spam senders just changing the start of the address. They can send hundreds of thousands of spam emails. If I could block by just the @...... this would greatly increase protection and not clog my/your blocking files! I just blocked 18 spam files. 9 of them had the same ending @....

Way back you were able to do that....with an asterisk *.domain name. It was awesome. Now we are capped at, what, 1,000 emails. Pittance, mere pittance. I can block that in a short amount of time. We need unlimited blocking!!!! or the *.domain name.
Finding out who these spammers are, isn't all that difficult AOL.

When AOL first started, they had the option of blocking by address or domain. Why they mess with things that set them apart from others is beyond me. This week, 150+ emails from terdacine.nl, each with a different start but all ending with @terdacine.nl which AOL doesn't seem to care or mind. Really pathetic these new changes which makes people want to go elsewhere.

I don't have the Block senders option on my AOL email. When I Click on security and privacy I can't block anyone.

Spam should be blocked by the end of the address . if they can change the start your Filter serves no purpose. GMail doesn't have this problem their spam filters work!!!!!!!

another option is blocking an email sender "if it contains" option. One of the worse spam originators is someone with an address that contains 'talosintelligence.org.uk' If I could block anything that has this in the senders address, I would save dozens of block requests.
