  5. Good weblog, just looking close to some blogs, appears a fairly good platform you are using. I’m presently using WordPress for a couple of of my websites but looking to alter one of them more than to a platform comparable to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you’d recommend about it?

  6. Please tell me it worked right? I dont wish to sumit it once again if i do not have to! Either the blog glitced out or i am an idiot, the second selection doesnt surprise me lol. thanks in your very good blog!

  7. Sorry for every body… the subject is block the emails from some one. but what this website shows u will delete after reciving the mail automtaicaly. this not block the address means. I want blcok from some one.

  8. This isn’t blocking anything. You are still receiving the email..it is simply being forwarded to a different folder than your inbox. Which means the sender will keep bothering you because their emails aren’t going back to them like a REAL block would do.

    • We provided the best workaround to avoid Scam emails. Email blocking will not work like phone number blocking. The sender can send the email, but you can redirect and delete the scam email, the best workaround for you.

      • Actually you CAN block emails the way you can block a phone number. I have seen it done by small & large businesses all the time..but don’t know how to do it and was hoping I could find the instructions here..but this is not the case. But thanks anyway for your time.

  9. Google

    Very handful of internet websites that transpire to become comprehensive below, from our point of view are undoubtedly nicely worth checking out.
