Easily block multiple sender domains at once in Outlook

1. Hold down the Ctrl key, select the emails containing the sender domains you want to block, and then click Kutools > Junk > Block Sender Domains.

2. A dialog box will pop up, informing you of the sender domains that are blocked. Click OK.

Tip: You can also block sender domains using the right-clicking menu: Select one or multiple emails, right click on any of them, and choose Junk (Kutools) > Block Sender Domains.

Thereafter, when emails from these sender domains arrive, they will be treated as spam and filtered into the Junk folder automatically.

Notes:

  • The blocked sender domains will be added to the Block Sender Domains rule. You can view and edit the rule by navigating to Kutools > Junk > Manage Junk Email Filter.
  • The rule is applied only to messages you receive after the rule was created. To run the rule on existing emails, on Kutools tab, please click Junk > Run Junk Rules Now.

Add, edit, or delete blocked sender domains

The method described above instructs you on how to block domains, which results in the creation of the Block Sender Domains rule. In this section, we will show you how to manage that rule, including how to add, edit, or delete blocked domains. Please proceed as follows.

1. Click Kutools > Junk > Manage Junk Email Filter to open the Junk dialog box.

2. In the Junk dialog box, select the Block Sender Domains rule, and click on the domains underlined in blue.

3. Now the Text Contains dialog box opens. Here, you can add new domains to block, or edit or delete existing ones. Simply tick or untick the listed domains to block or unblock them. Once done, click OK to save the changes.

Tips:
  •   Click this button to add new domains to block. This action will open the Search Text dialog. Inside the dialog, type a domain into the New Search Text box, click the Add button, and then click OK. The new domain will then be added to the list of domains to block.
  •   Click this button to edit the currently selected domain.
  •   Click this button to remove the currently selected domain.
  •   Click this button to remove all blocked domains.

4. Now we are back to the Manage Junk Email Filter dialog. We can see the updated blocked sender domains in the Rule description box. Click OK to close the dialog.

Notes:

  • Make sure the Junk Email Filter is turned on for the Block Sender Domains rule to take effect.
  • To disable the Block Sender Domains rule, please navigate to Junk > Manage Junk Email Filter, uncheck the rule and click OK.
  • To disable the Junk filter, click the Junk button. Tip: You can toggle the button to switch the filter on or off.
  • Check the Rule description wrap display option, so that if a rule description is too long to fit in one line of the window, it will wrap to the next line.
  • The rules in the Junk dialog box are executed from top to bottom: For example, if an email meets the conditions set in the first rule, it will be immediately moved to the Junk Email folder, then the following rules will not be applied on this email. If the first rule is a never block rule, when an email meets the conditions in this never block rule, it will remain in the Inbox folder even if it meets the conditions in the following block rules.

Hello, I not only want them to be blocked but also want them to never appear in my inbox and my junk folder again. Is there any way for that? I tried to edit the rule but that is not possible, also duplicating rule to edit will only let me edit different parameters to what mail to choose but not what to do with it (e.g. delete).

Is there a way for it?

Hi Skylar,

Our spam filtering features currently only support moving spam from the inbox to the spam folder, and we will seriously consider your suggestion. Thank you for your support.

I tried doing that, but it keeps coming up with "Contain" not "Specific Words".

Hi Keith Howard,

Sorry for the inconvenience. After clicking the underlined text "specific words", a Text Contains window pops up, click the New button to open the Search Text window. In this window, type in the IP address you need, click the Add button (you can repeat this operation to enter multiple IP addresses as you need), then click the OK buttons to save the settings. See the following screenshot:

What is the best way to block a SPAM IP address? I've tried putting in a valid IP address by adding a blocking filer to search for IP address in the Header.

Hi Keith,

Follow the second method in the post to maually create a block email rule with the specified ID addresses you want to block.
When open the following dialog box, check the header condition, click the specific words to add the IP addresses.

Hello,

I have downloaded and installed a trial version of Kutools for Outlook and would like your help with clarifying couple of issues.

I am running MS Outlook 2021 and from this app manage several accounts such as @live.com, @outlook.com, @yahoo.com and @gmail.com.

Question 1: If I block a domain by right-clicking on the junk message, would this domain be blocked for all accounts, e.g. @live.com, @outlook.com, @yahoo.com and @gmail.com or just the one the junk message was addressed to?

Question 2: I have accumulated a list of domains I would like to block. Is there a way to import this list into Kutolls rather than entering them one by one?

Thanks for your help. I am looking forward to minimize the junk with Kutools.

Regards,
Vladimir

Hi Vladimir,

The domain will be blocked for all accounts in your Outlook. Which one do you prefer? just the one the junk message was addresses to or for all accounts?
And Kutools does not allow importing a list of domains right now.
I have sent your suggestion back to the development department. Thank you for your comment.
