@wallsendrfc78  If t is spam all you can do is mark it as spam, there really isn't any way of stopping unwanted emails as they will alway be sent by spammers/scammers.

 

Or are you saying the emails are from a aknown person?

 

 

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

Spoken to sky today they told me to change my settings in sky shield. Apparently if you click on something it opens the world up for someone or group to send you anything they want

I'm not sure what either you or even Sky are saying about the Sky Shield as it will not stop these emails from being sent. They are junk mails known as spam so keep marking them as spam so that the system learns that it should be sending these to your junk folder.

I agree. The Sky Broadband Shield won't make any difference to emails.

 

@wallsendrfc78 if this spam is a real concern you could try switching to another email provider that you might find more effective at blocking it. Pfor example, personally I rarely get junk via Sky Yahoo Mail or Gmail, but I do via Hotmail.

If they are already going into spam, there is nothing you can do. The system has already detected them as spam, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop spammers sending spam. (more's the pity)

Some email clients allow a user to create a rule which will allow you to automatically delete a certain email if it contains a specific email address, subject or word in the body of the email.

Others will require you to log in to webmail to create that rule.
