Block spamers

Gmail may be the best mail arround but it lacks some common features like blocking a spammer from sending you mails. But thankfully here is away to do this.You can send mails from a id to the Trash automatically.

To block someone

• Select "create a new filter" next to search box
• Type the desired email address under From:
• Click Next .
• Check Delete it box under Choose action.
• Save it.

If you wish to blocks a entire domain type just "@example.com". (without quotation marks)

To block more than one address, separate them with "" (without quotation marks).

For eaxample you can block both spammer1@example.com and spam2@example.com by typing spammer1@example.com| spam2@example.com.
