Mail from blocked contact is still not automatically going to Trash. My OS is Ventura 13.4.1. Enable blocked mail filtering is selected as is Move to Trash. The email addresses show up in the list of blocked contacts.
iMac 27″, macOS 11.7
Using Apple Mail on the Mac, you can tick "Enable blocked mail filtering". That enables you to select either "Mark as blocked mail, but leave it in my Inbox" or "Move it to the Trash". Junk is not an option, yet that is where the blocked mail ends up if you select "Move it to the Trash" and that is the issue. The work-around to "Erase Junk Mail" itself opens the possibility of deleting mail one has inadvertently marked as junk.
With regard to "blocked mail filtering", the user does not explicitly mark mail as Junk.
The safeguard for recovering mail sent to the Trash would be to set an appropriately long period or "never" at "Mail->Preferences->Accounts->Mailbox Behaviors->Erase deleted messages:"

One easy Keyboard command.
Presto, they are deleted and do not even get put to Trash

I set my junk mail to erase all after one day. That feature to always go to the trash never works as Apple implies.
Agree but at the same time I am personally pleased it does not.
There have been, on occasion, where I have marked an E-mail as junk only to realize later , Operator Error ( me )
Welcome
So does this answer you question ?
Solved, Helpful, and Apple recommended posts - Apple Support
How Apple say it works or how it actually works ?
Feel free to lodge that directly to Apple
That has never worked for me. You'd think if it were blocked it would never even be displayed anywhere. But there they are and it takes a rule (that doesn't always work) to delete them.
Yep, that too. The whole process should be an embarrassment to Apple.
That is almost too easy. I have looked at those settings a jillion times and not seen that. Thank you!!!
It does for me.....it still does not correct the issue from the way Apple says it works.

Thank you for your efforts and detailed explanation above
Keep up the good work 👍
