Hi yinyangoz,

Hey yinyangoz,

Another option is to change the junk mail filter settings. For information on how to do so, click here: Reduce junk mail in Mail on Mac. Also take a look at If junk mail filters aren’t working in Mail on Mac.

If it still doesn't work as you would like it, we suggest sending feedback to Apple here: Product Feedback

Thank you but I have that part done. What I have now found is that the spammers is sending new mail from another email address but with the same name so it looks as if the block is not working. Some emails show that the sender is blocked but the are still showing up in my email.

Thank you!!! I had forgotten about the junk mail settings. I have set it to move blocked contact emails straight to the bin and if that works fine it should reduce my clean up load.
