I want to block an email address on Gmail. I don't even want it to be forwarded to my "trash bin" I want it so I NEVER even know they sent an email - get it lost in cyberspace or something. I tried blocking, but it would just go to my trashbin. I want it to it just gets sent back to them. They have caused nothing but hell in my life.

Thank you!

First you can report it as spam. but that wont work. You need to set up a filter:



Go to options, mail settings, filter, create a new filter, in the from field put the email, then click next, after that tick Delete it & Mark as read.



That wont send it back but its the best you can do.

To have Gmail send messages from a specific sender to the Trash automatically:



Follow the Create a filter link (at the top of any Gmail mailbox, near the search buttons).

Type the desired email address under From:.

You can block an entire domain by entering just that. To block all mail from both natsuko@example.com and pjotr@example.com, type "@example.com".

To block more than one address, separate them with "|" (the vertical bar; typically above the backslash on the keyboard; not including the quotation marks). You can block both natsuko@example.com and pjotr@example.com by typing "natsuko@example.com|pjotr@example.com", for example.

Click Next Step ».

Make sure Delete it is checked under Choose action.

Click Create Filter.

Check Also apply filter to __ conversations below to delete previously received messages.

To archive and label instead of delete messages, choose Skip the Inbox (Archive it) and Apply the label: under Choose action when setting up the filter.
