Or, to filter out a particular word in email address? Nancee, Ca. Sure, you can block a person's email address by using a "custom sender list." Here is how you do it: Click on the MAIL menu at the top of your AOL screen. Select BLOCK UNWANTED MAIL. Click on EDIT SENDER FILTER. Click on USE CUSTOM SENDER LIST. Mark the radio button that says BLOCK ALL SENDERS and DOMAINS LISTED BELOW. Type or paste in the address or domain to be blocked and click the ADD button and then the SAVE button and then close out the various windows you opened under the MAIL menu. If you block an email address of someone who regularly posts on a RootsWeb list generally that mail will still come through to you (but private emails from the person will be blocked). I've found that the list messages from blocked people come to my spam folder. You do want to be careful though that you don't create a situation where this makes your list mail bounce bounce because of refusing mail from a sender. Note that only the BLOCK ALL SENDERS and DOMAINS LISTED BELOW will work with RootsWeb lists and not the other setting that only permits mail to get through from approved senders--that doesn't work with lists.
