In this article, we describe how to block emails from any sender in Gmail. You can either block specific senders or use filters to create a block list.<\/p>\n

How to Block Email From a Sender in Gmail<\/h4>\n

To add a sender to your Gmail’s list of blocked senders and ensure that their messages are automatically routed to the Spam folder:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open a message from the sender whose message you’d like to block.<\/li>\n
  2. Click More (the three vertical dots in the message’s header next to the Reply button).<\/li>\n
  3. From the drop-down menu, select Block sender.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    While you will not be able to block messages from certain senders (such as Google), you can still use the instructions below to create a rule to block these senders.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. In the confirmation window, click Block. That sender has now been blocked.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The sender will be unaware that their message has been blocked. If you want them to know, you can use a Gmail filter to trigger an automatic response.<\/p>\n

      How to Use Filters to Block Senders in Gmail<\/h4>\n

      In Gmail, you can create a block list by creating a rule that directs all incoming email from any sender directly to the Trash folder. To configure Gmail to automatically send messages from specific senders to the Trash using a Gmail filter:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. In the Gmail search field, click the Show search options triangle ().<\/li>\n
      2. Type the desired email address in the From field. To separate multiple addresses, use the vertical bar (|), which is typically located above the backslash on the keyboard.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        For instance, type user-a@example.com|user-b@example.com to block both user-a@example.com and user-b@example.com.<\/p>\n

        By entering only the sender’s domain, you can block an entire domain. To block all mail from user-a@example.com and user-b@example.com, for example, type @example.com.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Click on Create filter.<\/li>\n
        2. In the resulting search filter dialog box, click Delete it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          To archive and label messages rather than delete them, select Skip the Inbox (Archive it) and then Apply the label. Select Choose label to reveal a drop-down menu containing all available filters. Additionally, you can create a New Label.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Click on Create filter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Check Additionally, apply a filter to conversations that match to delete previously received messages.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Any future messages from the specified sender(s) will now be automatically discarded in the Trash.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Alternatively, you can archive and categorize these messages for future review. If you receive spam from a mailer daemon, you can mark it as spam or junk.<\/p>\n

              Include a New Address Your Gmail Block List Rule Include a New Address<\/h4>\n

              To add new senders to your block list, either edit an existing deletion filter and use the vertical bar (|) to add them, or create a new filter. To locate pre-existing filters, follow these steps:<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Navigate to the Settings gear.<\/li>\n
              2. Select View all configurations.<\/li>\n
              3. Select the Filters and Blocked Addresses tab, then edit next to the filter you want to edit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
