Re: How do I block unsolicited e-mail?
You may be able to block unsolicited mail in your account on your eMail provider's website: eg: Yahoo, GMail etc. (ie: before the eMails get to your iPhone).
Seems on iPhone we can only block eMails from particular senders:
"To block a sender, tap their email address, then select Block this Contact"
from Apple Support's article: Flag emails in Mail on iPhone – Apple Support

Else:
You might want to try filtering eMails to see if anything there works for you:
Filter emails in Mail on iPhone – Apple Support
or
Apple Support's article:
Block phone numbers, contacts and emails on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support
For the Messages app:
says:
"Filter messages from unknown senders:
You can filter messages from people who aren't saved in your Contacts.
To filter messages, go to Settings > Messages and turn on Filter Unknown Senders".
All the best :-)
