    I've been getting junk E-mails from @message.fedex.com, which a low-level FedEx rep says is not legit (I'm waiting on someone higher up there to confirm this), and I don't want the legitimate messages from @fedex.com to be blocked if I block the messages from @message.fedex.com.

      If an email falls in the forest when nobody is around, does it really make a sound?

        It depends on the mail client you're using. In MS Outlook, I can block the sender (which should be host-specific) or the sender's domain (which should block all hosts and users from the same domain). I say "should" because Outlook has always been a bit flaky, and the latest version is not very predictable. I've never used Yahoo Mail, so I can't advise you, but you might try searching for some FAQs on their site.

          I don't know about Yahoo Mail, but every other e-mail client that I have used allows one to block both the user (abc@xyz.com) and the domain (@xyz.com). They also require separate rules for subdomains (@xyz.com vs @tuv.xyz.com). I doubt that blocking @message.fedex.com will block @fedex.com.

            As others have said, you should be able to block individuals. We block access to yahoo mail. Source of Ransomware some years ago when employee checked her email and clicked on wrong thing. Ruined my weekend, but had air gapped backups. Good, but undesired, disaster plan test. Another way to test: port forwarding.
