A one-off rule for spam filtering seems doomed to fail getting all possible combinations, eventually.

I’m (un)lucky enough to have to filter many forms of junk mail including traditional spam, among several accounts. Four out of eight accounts have much more spam and much more activity, so I think that the more active with good (non spam mail) an account/source us the more junk you’ll get.

All-in-all, I filter all my incoming email with SpamSieve which does a great job overall. I happen to use a separate email drone set up outside of my MailMate app to do it and have been doing so for years.

But good luck to you.

Respectfully,

I receive mail from a person that I always want to block. They always use the name "Steve Wroblewski" but they use a different email address each time. The options for blocking seem to be "User Name <email>" or "<email>".

Is it possible for me to block this person using their name? Or should I set up a rule for this? I simply want email from them to be permanently deleted.

I have a rule exactly like this in my "Spam (obvious) rule":

[From -> Name] [is] [xxx]

In my case, the spam has a consistent name and part of the subject, with different from and to addresses, and modifications of the subject, so my rule is a compound rule:

[All} of the following are true
   [From -> Name] [is] [Mel Gonzales]
   [Subject] [Contains] [Electronic Waste Collection]
