Blocked sender still appears in junk

Paul2121

Confirmed - this feature does not function.

I've posted here (more than once) on this topic.* I'm still waiting on Apple to fix it. I checked in today just to see if there has been any progress. Nope.

Good luck! I really hope you can get Apple going on this one.

*I also get responses as you have described. Sometimes they are hilarious! If you want some entertainment, look up some of my previous posts and read the responses. There are some really, really good (and funny) people on here; some others, as well.

MKRK,

Thank you for the suggestion.

Yes - that works. For one. Or two. OK - 5? 10? Regardless, your procedure is still a band-aid; a work-around.

But, it's not really a solution. Further, I have between 5,000 - 10,000 different blocked senders. I get at least 25-50 new ones per day. I can't do your procedure on 10,000 blocked senders; or even 50 per day.

Bottom Line: your workaround still does not address the issue. Apple needs to fix this problem.

Thanks anyway,

Matt

I have the same problem with trying use Apple's feature to send emails from blocked senders to Trash.

It does not work.

I think the problem is worse.

A few days ago, I took the time to add 60 overnight junk mail senders to the blocked list.

I also tried to use Mail's "Unsubscribe from email list".

Last night I got 380 junk emails, 240 the night before, 120 the night before that.

I'm not sure which action caused this but my junk mail has gone up by 600% and is increasing daily.

Does Apple do something to respond to blocked senders,

where Spam generators retaliate and focus more junk mail towards my account?

49% of email traffic worldwide is spam, Apple needs a solution to protect users.

Their unified block sender list for voice calls, texts and emails isn't working

The wording Apple has used " Move it to trash " in the Blocked Sender Filters is misleading at best.

Though is says one thing it does another - sadly.

Yes it does move the Blocker Sender to Junk and it remains there for a period of time

Refer to links below and Yes, I have participated in each

There were the easiest to find and for no other reason

Blocked email don't go to bin. - Apple Community

It sounds like the junk filter actions happen before the blocked sender actions and once the message is moved, it isn’t processed by the Blocked sender filter. I don’t see any way to change the precedence.

Hi. Sorry, but got to start this way; I also experience this. It is bleeding annoying. I have tried all sorts of permutations within the settings to no avail. Apple, take note.

In the meantime I have just de-selected "Enable Junk Mail Filtering" but left "Enable Blocked Mail Filtering" on. I have also composed my own Junk Mail Rule.

This is all untested so far so cannot guarantee it to work.

Good luck.

Good idea and Kudos for that.

Perhaps of enough users file a complaint - who know if Apple may or may not adjust the wording in the successor version to Ventura macOS Sonoma Preview - Apple (CA) macOS 14

I do know the same wording is still used in macOS 13

I had the same problem. To immediately trash blocked senders or any other emails for that matter do the following:

1. Mail settings
2. Add a new rule
3. Give the rule a description
4. Paste the blocked email address in the field to the right of From/Contains
5. In the first field under “Perform the following actions:” click the up/down arrows and select “Delete Message.”
6. Click Ok, and you're done.

You can add additional blocked email addresses to this same rule as opposed to adding a new rule for each email address you want to immediately trash. 

Me too. Most junk comes in on my business account. My email accounts are Gmail based. I'm going to try pasting all of my blocked senders into gmail online and see if I can stop them from coming into my computer or phone at all.

Apple really needs to fix this very annoying and time consuming problem!!!!
