blocking domain
I want to block a domain. Blocking the email address does no good because the spammers just use another name each time.

Please bring back the feature to allow us to block domains again. I get A LOT of emails from he same domain that are all spam and I have had to delete a lot of them in my blocked addresses because I went over 1000. This could be eliminated by allowing us to block the domains again, thus making 50 blocked addressed into 1 so we can get them all blocked. This is ridiculous.

Strange that you can be so tone-deaf to something that you ought to be eager to comply with. Let us block domains!!!

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 and later "he" used:
Return-Path: <ReturnWswI98DiGv@gandi.net> Aug 26
Return-Path: <ReturnMJTs6kWRD5@gandi.net>
Return-Path: <Returnerl4Tx8Mi5@gandi.net>
Return-Path: <ReturnPPOmXJYxV4@gandi.net>
Return-Path: <Return1SbwHq6Gr6@gandi.net>
Return-Path: <ReturnVSXXfVp9lc@gandi.net>
Return-Path: <Return1PBnVChKRl@gandi.net>
Return-Path: <ReturnAg3yhI1eH3@gandi.net>
Return-Path: <ReturnVY8iBY6epD@gandi.net>

Please let us block domains. I am getting multiple emails in my spam per day and all from the same 2 domains. All I have to do is block the domains BUT YOU REMOVED THAT. Blocking individual addresses is ineffective because the first part is always different and you know this. This used to be an option. Why in the fucking hell did you remove it? This is frustrating. Also the filters could be useful but you don't give us the option to delete emails caught by the filter but only to move them to a folder. Again, useless because they are already going into spam. I don't want to see these emails not have them moved to spam. Why can't we get any support without paying for it? The last time I emailed you I got useless garbage and a recommendation to pay for premium. I replied and I got the same damn canned text. Again useless and a waste of my time. Do you like wasting my time? Apparently you do.

Legit email goes into my spam folder so I have to review it...even if I tell the system that it is Not Spam.
Spammers are sending dozens of emails to my spam inbox but I cannot block them because they keep changing the address. They are always from @*****.com or @*****.com. They change the letters before the "@" so any filters cannot catch it. This is so stupid that I can't just block anything after the @ symbol. Maybe I'll switch to a more modern email system like AOL. LOL! -

You removed blocking domains? Are you kidding me? Now I am getting multiple ad based emails and all from the same domain. It would be so easy to stop them all by blocking the domain BUT you removed it? Just like multiple other useful settings you thought that we weren't using and added useless things that we don't want like the trending notification or autoplaying videos. If I didn't have such a history and have to give out my email so much I'd go with someone else.

Yep.
I've been getting around ten spams a day recently, from barely any in over a decade, mostly from the .space domain, but some from .site and a few from .top. All use the format of no-reply@ followed by three random letters, then a dot followed by three words in English or common acronyms used in English, followed by two digits, then the .space or .site or .top domain.
Have been reporting all of the senders to spamcop.com and blocking them on Yahoo, but it is fairly clear that these spammers are using bots to generate new accounts. I'll very soon max out the ability to block up to 1000 addresses, having had under 90 from over a decade of having the account with yahoo.
The odd time I'm away from wifi, I can get as many as 30 of these in a day, as I won't be around to block the initial addresses in a given chunk of time.

The response to another Feedback on the same issue from Yahoo's "Product Support" is completely unacceptable!!
"Currently, you can’t block domains in New Mail. Since spammers use so many different addresses to send junk, it’s best to mark these emails as Spam rather than trying to block every domain."
For example, *@alice.it & *@gmx.de are very well known for being SPAM SCAMs.
It should not be hard at all for yahoo to check these e-mail domains FIRST from the users "Blocked addresses" list.
If it has just a * before the @, then block ALL from the domain that comes after the @ symbol.
Simple. -

LET US BLOCK THE FRICKEN "DOMAIN"

Dionisia Tara commented
The old Yahoo! used to give us this ability. Bring back this feature so we could block the domain names as spammers just randomly generate their usernames nowadays. Come on Yahoo, you need to keep up instead of losing to spammers. This is truly disappointing.

Well.... How much feedback do you need for us to get an answer and a fix? ANOTHER SIX MONTHS???? PATHETIC!

This is happening to me as well. Why can't we block domains?? Can we get an answer already or is this yet another issue that no one has an answer to or you yahoo ppl just don't care what ppl think as long as you get kick backs from the spammers.

I don't understand this:
-In the old version of yahoo mail, I am able to block an entire domain.
-I can still see the list of blocked domains in the new version of Yahoo mail.
-However the new version of yahoo mail, will not allow me to add an entire domain.
How does this make any sense? Do your developers even ask what users want, or just make the decision for us? -
Mark Christos commented
Please allow blocking of a domain. Agree, spammers simply use new email addresses, yet the domain is the same. all ability to block @yxz.com

Anish Janardhanan commented
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.

maybe somehow Yahoo is getting traction from spams so they may not really care about our security otherwise they should have done it already. I think they are smart enough to know that spammers are using multiple email addresses using same domain yet they did not allow blocking domains. Imagine how much traction they will lose without spammers :-)

I found how to access my list of "blocked addresses".
click on the gear shaped icon
click on: "... more settings"
click on: "security & privacy"
That will show your list of blocked addresses.When I attempt to enter a domain name "t-online.hu" I get "invalid entry"
When I attempt to enter a domain name "@t-online.hu" I get "invalid entry"
It does accept *@t-online.hu but will that work to block the domain??? -
Edwin Hampton commented
I second that! for example:
Agent Ditmer Eduart <gogos.krisztina@t-online.hu> Mar 27 at 6:41 AM
Agent Ditmer Eduart <bonusz.janos@t-online.hu> Mar 29 at 8:41 AM
Agent Ditmer Eduart <zalaber@t-online.hu> Apr 4 at 1:32 AMI blocked ALL 3 sending addresses when I received each Phishing SPAM. All 3 use the SAME gmail address for a REPLY!
If I could have Blocked the DOMAIN, Like the OLD yahoo mail, I would NOT HAVE RECEIVED THE LAST TWO SPAMS!
