email blocking

How can I block email from sender: info@   

This prefix is followed by a random number followed by a . followed by two concatenated words and ending in .com.

Spam and blocking filters in my email settings have been unsuccessful.

Thank you for any help on this subject.

In the blocking filter try using an asterisk instead of the random number.  An asterisk is a common wildcard.

Unfortunately, the Verizon Webmail filters do not accept wildcard characters. If you want to filter that way you will need to use a 3rd party email client.

I am having the same problem with info@ (random 18 digit #).orbalisk.com

This email consistently locks up my iPad when I try to delete these emails.

Can't verizon block these for me?

I've thought of forwarding my Verizon mail to a non-Verizon email account that has better filtering capabilities.

I'd prefer Verizon just implement a more professional filter.

Someone had suggested an email aggregator, but I don't know how that would keep the original email services, i.e.. Verizon, Gmail, aol, etc. current as far as marking the original email recipient systems as read, sent, or trashed, etc..

The other solution that comes to mind is to create a list of email addresses that we specifically allow into our Verizon inbox. But if you don't know who or what businesses are using your verizon.net address for legitimate reasons that could be risky.

There's an entry currently on the Idea Exchange that includes allowing wildcard characters. You should go vote for it.
