Hot to block particular e-mail address?

How do I block a particular email address from emailing me?

  • I use Google Apps. It's important that they get some kind of message saying message undeliverable, or an auto-responder etc. but has to be something that only one email address gets.

  • Answer:

    You can filter it to go to trash.  And an automatic canned response saying it couldn't be delivered would help too.

This is possible to do - use the following steps: 1. Go into Gmail settings and enable the "Canned Response" lab in Gmail. http://bit.ly/12VmL8x  (It may be that your system administrator has disabled Gmail Labs or the particular "Canned Response" lab that we're after, just be aware of this.) 2. Create a "Canned Response" message saying something like: "Message rejected, blah blah" http://bit.ly/Zf0ClI 3. Create a filter in Gmail that matches the messages you want to reject/block. 4. In the filter Actions, you can select one or more actions, such as: Delete it Send a Canned Response (where you can select the response you want to send) With regards, Hovanes

I've heard from my office mates that aside from using Google's filter, there is an easier way to block an email address which can also block an entire domain. As I can recall, it is a Chrome extension called Block sender. I haven't tried it yet but my sibling does. According to her, it works above her expectations.

I recently had this kind of problem and I had to put the particular email address in the blocked senders list. You can configure blocked senders list for the entire domain or only for one (or more) sub-organizations within your Google Apps domain. I wrote a how-to guide, you may find more details here: http://www.howtodigitalstuff.com/block-email-address-in-google-apps/
