How Do I Block An Email Address?

[TamaraNicole]

I need to block an AOL user from sending me email. I see in the cpanel a "block" option, but when I test the filter, I get the message that the filter failed. What am I doing wrong?

 

I have it set to filter all mail with the header from which equals this idiot's AOL account.

 

Any suggestions?

What options did you chose for the blocker, and what text did you have it check for?

I had it set to FROM which EQUALS (aol addy) - which didn't work

 

I changed it to FROM which MATCHES REG EX (aol addy) - which now gives me the message "Filtering set up at least one significant delivery or other action. No other deliveries will occur."

 

So I think I figured it out by myself... but thanks so much for the quick response!

I imagine equals requires the block to make an exact match. Matching regex doesn't need to be exact.
