After being repeatedly tagged — over a brief period of learning, MailWasher starts automatically blacklisting mails from that (tagged) Sender.

If that is what you mean, then sorry, but no it doesn't.
If it did, my Blacklist will have many many entries.
MW will, after a period of learning, start identifying such spam as spam. But it will not automatically add it to your Blacklist. And frankly, I feel that is a good thing. No learning feature is perfect so false positives are always a possibility. So IMO, if you get emails that similar that often, it would be better to just create a filter for it.
I have one Filter called "Recurring spam". I frequently get spam emails sent to me but the "To" field will include my legitimate name but with the domain of "@aol.com". I have never used aol.com so I know those are spam messages. So I created a filter that tags any email sent with "@aol.com" as "Spam", "Always mark for delete".

Re: How to auto blacklist email tagged as spam?
That's what I was hoping but I have been dealing with the same garbage over and over and there is no learning so to speak. I have no idea if the spam I'm getting is the same sender or not. But I keep blacklisting the spam manually. If it doesn't learn to blacklist, I will keep on doing it manually.
I do have a question, I have ATT for email. If MWP identifies email as spam, does ATT tag it as spam from MWP as well? Something tells me no.
Thanks for the replies.

You might want to play with filters, as well (just search the forums) — they would empower you with finer granular controls in your blacklisting routine.
Re: How to auto blacklist email tagged as spam?
"Auto-blacklisting" and "adding a Sender to the blacklist" . . . are 2 entirely different terms — not to be confused with one another.
MailWasher will learn to blacklist only if the Sender is the same as the one being repeatedly tagged (marked) by the User.stereodoc wrote: ↑Sat Apr 08, 2023 8:00 amThat's what I was hoping but I have been dealing with the same garbage over and over and there is no learning so to speak.

MailWasher and ATT act independent of each other . . . in their identification of spam.
