Blocking e-mail from the same site

I've been receiving spam e-mails from a site (domain) that I never signed up on. I record them as spam, but I still keep getting them. I tried to unsubscribe, but I received a warning that the site wasn't safe. How do I stop these e-mails? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to the Bitdefender Forums. It is impossible to stop spam emails. Unsubscribing usually just informs the spammer that your email address is legitimate. That leads to more spam emails.

    Some paid Bitdefender products offer an Email Protection component.

    That BD component does not stop spam emails, but it does flag them.

    There are specialized spam email detection/filtering products from other software companies that analyze emails in your online mailboxes. You can set them to auto-delete emails based on various rules that you create. I have a lifetime license for one such product myself.

    If you wish to send me a Personal Message (just click on my name and select "Message"), I will tell you what product I have been using for years. Forum policy prevents me from sharing the details and the URL here in a public Forum post.

    I hope this helps. Have a great day.

    Regards,

    Phil

    Furthermore, here are several steps you can take to minimize the amount of spam you receive:

    I hope the information is helpful.
