spam from .us

[sloppy33]

Is there anyway to stop spam coming into gmail from .us I am getting more each day and although I put them into my black list they only change a number and through they come. I foolishly tried unsubscribing on some of them but this seemed to alert the sender that my address was live. My ploy at the moment is add the sender to blacklist and then bounce it, any input on this please.

You can set your Blacklist to automatic delete, so you won't see those messages. But if you didn't want to automatically delete all those, and just the .us you could instead craft a custom filter that looks at the FROM field, REGEX for something like

@[:alnum:]+\.(us)

The @[:alnum:] is looking for the @ followed by text, then ending with the .us
If you just had the filter looking for .us that might cause some false positives, hence the above more detailed.

Hi Rusticdog, do you never sleep? my questions are always solved by you. Maybe not this time though, the spam I have coming in is assorted numbers such as @1c15i69ti.us then the number changes @a69o8c81.us and it goes on and on with never the same numbers. The FROM is the same, [email protected] the FROM changes numbers too. How do I set my blacklist to automatically delete I must have thousands of them there by now.

That REGEX filter above should catch those examples you mention.

For the blacklist, go Settings >> Spam Tools >> Blacklist >> click the Options tab >> you'll see the autodelete option there.

Cheers
