If you block someone from your email do they know they are blocked ?

[Egluntyne]

Don't think so. Your email wotsit will just send it you your delete box I think.

Thought so How else do you deter nasty emails ?

[Egluntyne]

You can set up message rules in your email account so that they don't get through.

 

If someone is hassling you, why not report them to their email provider?

[scarlettohara]

I will try that or will ask them politely to stop emailing and hope that works or change my email address (again )

[Geoid]

Contact their email provider or ISP. It is normally abuse@

Not sure about ordinary PC's but on my Mac I can bounce an email so it appears as an invalid address.

It's possible to set up the message rules to "bounce" an email so that it looks like a wrong address.

 

You may have to log in to your email account via their web-site (i.e. I have a Tiscali (ex-lineOne) account) rather than do it via Outlook (or your local computer based email programme)

Is this from someone you know? If so, treat the emails in exactly the same way you would if the text were in a letter.

 

If, as I suspect is more likely, this is from a source you don't know, then blocking the email is the best option. More importantly, sending a response to a blocked email is actually a bad idea, since it demonstrates your email address is live. Many spammers email all sorts of email address combinations (or addresses from lists they've bought) and simply look to see who responds, even with an automated reply, then increase the traffic to those addresses.
