I have a great number of rules in effect within my web mail box and some of the blacklisted emails are still getting through. How do I keep the number of rules down, while blocking unwanted e-mails?

There are two ways to keep the number of spam filtering rules low: 1. Do not create a new filter / spam blocking rule for every SPAM that makes it into your Inbox. Only create a rule when you see multiple spam from the same sender or with the same subject that make it into your Inbox. 2. When creating a spam blocking rule consider blocking all mail boxes from a sending address. Spammers are sneaky and they will try to figure out a way to go around your rules. In order to beat the spammers, set a rule to block all e-mails from that particular domain. For Example: If the e-mail address is gflowers@freepartyhats.com. Simply use the default when you set the blacklist rule and remove “gflowers”. This will block all e-mail from safewheels.com. *See screenshot below.
