How to block a site from sending e mail

How can I block spam e mail , that comes from an online casino site ? I clicked on my "block sender", but the problem is that they change their address with every e mail, making it impossible to block them . Is there any other way ? How can anyone even trust such a site to gamble at, if they don't even let you block their spam ?

Is there an unsubscribe option at the bottom of the email? Problem is nowadays is that there is tons of spam emails being sent using different email addresses. Kinda sounds like your email address may have been sold for spamming purposes. Not much you can do about it but delete them.

Also, I read that it is not good to click on the unsubscribe because that just confirms to the spammer that it is a good address and to keep sending their spam there.

You should be able to make a spam folder rule for anything from that domain.

That's what I do. What email client do you use? You have to figure out how to set up rules for those things and you can have them sent to the Trash.

I have Yahoo Mail. The thing is that they change their e mail address with every e -mail to prevent you from flagging and redirecting their e mail. I have a block feature but it can't work here because of this. This shows how unethical they are and they expect people to gamble ( it is an on line casino ) at such a site ? I can just imagine how they must rig the games in their favor. It's no big deal, I'll just ignore and delete.

When you setup your filtering rules, see if there's a particular word string that is common to the emails from that spammer and set the filter so that it looks at whether the Subject: contains "the common word string" and then move that message to the trash. If not the subject, try to set things up to see if the Body section contains the string.

Just because you have Yahoo mail or Gmail, it doesn't stop you from using a different email client. I personally use Hotmail (actually Outlook.live.com) and use Thunderbird (from the same people, Mozilla, that do FireFox) as my email client. It has filtering rules that are pretty comprehensive.
