blocked sender's DOMAIN
bring back the ability to block domain, most just to whole email address. Seems like most of the SPAM emails I get are from the same domain so just blocking the whole email address isn't doing anything to stop the SPAM

An example of a reason to block domains.
Up until Aug 17 one spammer was using <return@gandi.net> as "his" sending address.
August 18th to Aug 26th "he" used:
Return-Path: <ReturnWswI98DiGv@gandi.net> Aug 26

Yes it is not rocket science... unfortunately Yahoo has been losing brain cells over the last years.

There used to be a DOMAIN blocking option till last week. This week it vanished. Please bring back the block DOMAIN address option because spammers tend to change email address everytime they send but remain on the same domain. E.g. Abcd@xyz.com, Abcd1@xyz.com, AbcdJune5@xyz.com etc etc.

I used to black an entire domain because the spammer would just change names. ******.com is now the worst offender. But can only block one by one as they appear.
Yahoo knows these are spam and let them through anyway. -

Is Yahoo getting paid by the spammers not to block the domain? Is that why Yahoo disabled the Block by domain?

the blocked addresses keep piling up so much because
a lot of spammers keep the domain but keep changing the
address that's why I need an option to block Email
addresses or domain to block the domain. -

I could block a Domain in the OLD Yahoo mail, I can only block an address in the NEW (NOT) Improved Yahoo mail!!!
Your NEW (NOT) improved email also has NO PROVISION TO REMOVE BLOCKED ADDRESSES that were blocked in error! -

You could also go back to allowing wildcard asterisks in blocked names which would, at least, make it easier to block spammers who just change the number at the end of their randomly generated user names, if blocking domains is too much to ask.

When you know that spammers just assign random names to domains like .top, .fun and .site and legitimate people don't, why wouldn't you allow us to simply block those domains if we want to do so? Are you trying to support the spam industry instead of your Yahoo! customers?

agree... used to be able to block domains but now when trying to block new domains am met with "The email address to ban is invalid." Please bring back ability to block domains in blocked senders
