In the next window, you can define your filter rules, sender email ID, recipients, subject, keywords, etc. If you want to block email from multiple senders, please separate the email ids with “|” (Shift back slash) i.e. [email protected]|[email protected]. If you want to block email from an entire domain, enter the site’s address in the “From” field. Click Next.
