Monty Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 For the most part I like it, but there are some companies (Warby Parker, American Home Warranty etc) whose emails show up in my Spam section every day, despite my use of the "blocking" option. Do they have dozens of ways around the blocker? I'd like them to be permanently blocked, but that doesn't seem to be an option.
TonyK Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 I use Outlook and the same thing happens to me. I've been told they have many different "sender" addresses and that's why it happens. I've tried other ways to block but it still happens. There are times that legitimate emails I get from some companies come in just fine all the time and then suddenly one goes straight to my junk. It's become amusing and I just have a habit of checking my junk folder before I empty it.
Dave Van Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 Just like 'SPAM' phone calls .....e-mail senders are 'spoofing' their addresses and thus hard to block when they change address daily. In the mornings I just select all junk, hit delete and live with it.

I do electronic payments on some accounts and the invoices occasionally end up in the Spam file, so I have to check everything over before dumping anything.

Google, Yahoo, etc. I'd try blocking them from there.
LL3 Model Worx Posted November 2, 2022 Posted November 2, 2022 Yup use outlook for work email but that's it... Still use Gmail and hotmail for everything else.

Generally, they come from some random suchandsuch@whereever they just copy the main name. That's how they get some folks...
