Identify senders of spam

Applicable for: Windows

If you do not want to receive any email messages from a specific address or domain, you can add it to the Blocked List. Norton AntiSpam marks all email messages from this address or domain as spam.

Norton AntiSpam also automatically imports the lists of addresses that are available in the Blocked Sender lists of your email program into the Blocked List during the initial client integration or address book import.

Import of Safe Sender and the Blocked Sender lists are not supported on Microsoft Outlook 2010 or later.

Norton AntiSpam lets you type invalid email addresses to the Blocked List.

Always add suspicious email addresses and domains to the Blocked List, so that you do not receive unsolicited email messages from such addresses or domains.

Add entries to the Blocked List

  1. Open your Norton device security product.

    If you see the My Norton window, next to Device Security, click Open.

  2. In the Norton product main window, click Settings.

  3. In the Settings window, click AntiSpam.

  4. On the Filter tab, in the Blocked List row, click Configure.

  5. In the Blocked List window, click Add.

  6. In the Add Email Address dialog box, in the Address Type drop-down list, select the address type.

    You can select one of the following:

    • To add an email address, type the email address that you want to block, and the name of the sender.

    • To add a domain, enter the address of the domain (for example, nortonlifelock.com), and the name of the domain.

    Alternatively, you can also use Ctrl + V key to paste the text from your computer.

  8. Click OK.

  9. In the Blocked List window, click Apply.

  10. Click OK.
