You can block an email using spam filters. There are many
definitions of spam, but one particularly useful one is the
following:
Spam is the electronic version of junk mail, and has been around
since the Internet was created. email filters are a way of
filtering your email to remove unwanted mail based on a variety
of criteria. You can block any sort of email, not just mail
of a commercial nature. Blocked mail can be deleted automatically
or sent to another email address or script. These filters are
quite flexible - some examples are provided after the instruction
on how to add a spam filter below. All filters are cumulative.
