Block email messages from a particular country to control spam   

Applies to Windows Mail

Blocking email messages from a particular country is a new feature in Windows Mail. Previously, in Outlook Express you could not block an entire country from sending you spam emails. This is a fantastic feature that really helps stop spam and junk email coming into your inbox. I personally can't believe how well it works.

How to find out what country the spam email is coming from?

A website or an email from a particular country usually has a specific code. For example an email address from Australia can have .com.au on the end and so can a website from Australia. If an email was from Canada it would have .ca on the end.

Some more examples are UK  -  United Kingdom,  ZA - South Africa, TH - Thailand, RU - Russian Federation, and more... Unfortunately this is  not a clear cut answer because there are also hotmail.com and other email addresses that are available to any country but it can still help.

How to block email messages from a particular country to control spam?

  1. Open Windows Mail
  2. Go to the tools menu and choose Junk E-mail options..

  1. Now tick the box next to any country that you wish to block messages from.

  1. You can choose to select all and then untick the ones you want to allow.
  2. This is the easiest way for me because all of my email message I receive are from Australia, the UK, and the USA and Canada. Therefore I only have to untick these ones.

This is the ultimate control in stopping spam email reaching your inbox.
