Blocking spam IP addresses

Norton Security | Norton Internet Security

Hello . . . I’ll start by saying that I’m not technically minded :blush: so in need of some advice.

My email address which I’ve had forever has been compromised and since May 2024 have received in the region of 9,000 scam spamming honeypot IP ( bots? ) emails, from 2 specific IP addresses and their subnets.

I would like if possible to block these, I only need the facility on one device and wondered which Norton package would be best for me? I’d really appreciate some help - thank you. :pray:

Hello @bjm for home use, my personal email address. These horrible messages do go into my spam folder - but I really would like to be free of them ever reaching me in the first place, so IP blocking seemed the solution?
Would SPAMfighter do that or do I need to add the ever newly created email addresses to this system? I find this all very confusing, so sorry.

With SpamFighter you can blacklist domains, here is their article about how that is done:
