Blocked emails

[Stoneycrofter]

Hi,

I currently have 999 blocked addresses in my Security & Privacy section. As the limit is 1,000 should I delete the current 999 and start blocking again for future ones?

Meant to say, I'm reporting them as spam.

Generally there's no point blocking emails you've reported as spam. The 'system' will learn over time to move emails you've previously reported as spam straight to the Junk folder. Blocking is best left for emails that always come from the same email address. Spammers regularly change their sending email address to evade blockings thereby render them pointless.

Personally I would just delete the lot.

Blocking emails you consider to be spam, is a complete waste of time. The very fact you have reached 900 proves that.
