Filtering e-mail using Mail Controls

If you are one of those AOL e-mail users who receive tons of porn e-mail and scams each day, then you can setup some mail controls. Mail Controls allow you to setup what what type of e-mails to receive and what to block: AOL member e-mails, domains, and e-mails from other services, etc.

Keyword: Mail Controls

RedXII:
I currently have the following address/domains blocked:
@yahoo.com
@hotmail.com
XXX@aol.com

Hotmail and Yahoo domain users are the most common domains causing trouble for me. Therefore I blocked the whole domain instead of just that single email address.
