block domain
Ability to Block Domains!!!! This is a basic function and should be just as easy as blocking an email.

Blocking full domains is one of those basics that every mail system should handle cleanly, especially nowadays. Workarounds with filters feel like duct tape. I’ve ended up using a mix of custom rules and aliases just to keep junk under control. It reminds me of reading www.fightmatrix.com/2025/08/20/who-was-the-first-double-champ-in-ufc-history-the-history-of-champ-champs/ and wondering why simple questions somehow need five layers of explanation before you get a straight answer.

Ability to BLOCK DOMAIN NAMES should be ranked #1. Seriously.

If an email contains "casino" we must be able to block an email that contains that word we do have filters but i have these set up but they dont seem to work i still get 30 - 40 a day spam from casino's every one from a different email they change it each time, so we need to filter via a word that works is needed

I agree with everyone else that having a max capacity of just 1000 for blocked emails is not enough. AOL has been in business for how long? I have had my AOL email address for almost 30 years. You have to be better than this. Like someone else suggested let us have the ability to block domain addresses. What are we paying you for?

I am getting 50+ emails per day from three domains ending in .nl and now they changed it to .info - same name just the change after the dot. It is so aggravating, and I understand you want people to pay for AOL but unless you correct this problem, you simply are not worth anything. I've been on AOL for many years, and we had domain blocking when I started. I guess you don't care. My wife just changed to Gmail, and she said her email can go to ****. She's notified all her accounts of the change. I want to stay, but I need this fixed back to how it was originally.
Why you ever changed it is beyond me. -

Also, when I do click on ‘Security and Privacy’ under settings tab, it does not allow me to ADD any emails to be blocked…another major issue….it doesn’t work…NO blocking available.

Go back to having ‘block senders’ under the 3 dots “more setting”
Too difficult to navigate to the privacy settings -

I am under siege from domains in the Netherlands. Hundreds of Spam messages, all with rotating gibberish before the @ and the same domain.nl after...and then the next such domain...and the next...and no way to make it stop.
The good news is, you put them correctly in Spam. The bad news is you give us no way to make it freaking stop until we want to smack YOU around for it as much as we want to smack the annoying spammers.
Enough. Give us a way to make it stop.

Originally, the AOL I started with many years ago, had the ability to block an individual email address, or a whole domain. I guess they feel they are so out of touch that they now allow all this spam to boost their numbers. In the meantime, every person of a young age that sees I have AOL thinks I'm living in the 18th century because it is "sooooooo old". I guess I'll have to start using gmail like so many others because AOL has dropped the ball. They stopped what made them great in the first place; the ability to block domains. It is really a shame that they forgot that those of us here for years remained loyal because of some of the things which aren't fancy but are instead, a necessity. Every day, 50, 100, 200 spams from the same domain in the Netherlands each with a different address? One simple question AOL: Why? It was easy back then and now it's just plain foolish to use this when I can use other, more modern domains, that also don't care. You have no copyright on ignoring the end user because they all did it before you. And that made you standout. Now? Get it fixed or just tell us to leave. I can do either one.

It's ridiculous that you can't block whole spammer domains.
@cerdaline.info just changes their sender 100+ times a day. -

AOL use to be able to block offending Domains but now their system requires a FULL email address and not just the Domain name. Since the use of uncontrolled use of stolen Domains is easy to just change the sender and then saturate users from the SAME Domain continues. So being able to block Domains would eliminate the flooding of SPAM emails from the SAME Domain.
