Is there any way to block email from a certain sender ?

I made the mistake of browsing for supplier of a small drill chuck (Made in Japan) and even since
have been flooded with who-knows-what as its all in Japanese ! I can't identify any 'unsubscribe' link
and there's no responce if I reply to the address.

Thanks for any solutions...

Cheers - Kirk

Have you tried running an email through google translate or similar, might bring up an unsubscribe link if it is a genuine mailing list you subscribed to.

Failing that can your mail client software auto-trash them?

I'll have a go... thanks

It's Thunderbird.. they have a User Forum ... worth an ask.

Be a useful feature for Orcon to initiate maybe.....

Pretty sure TBird has filters you can use for that.

Thanks FireEngine... a quick Google and it was setup in seconds.

Looks like quite sophisticated filter options... never knew they were there!
