I saw People posting for over a year about the "geeksquad" FAKE emails. This still hasn't been Corrected, and I am getting them Also from the criminal enterprise. They all pretend to be from Best Buy/Geeksquad they all have Click buttons with the SCAMMER website rxvtom.com within the email. Block this Junk, please, before any more people get hurt

I will provide FULL HEADERS Directly to Support Staff i don't want to Post them here since someone might inadvertedly Click on them and get Malware from rxvtom.com Malware site.

Hi,

You seem to want an e-mail service provider to block scam messages at the server. Mozilla people cannot do that because Mozilla is not an e-mail service provider.

You will want to contact your e-mail service provider.

You can also use tools in Thunderbird to filter messages after they get through the server.

Okay, Sorry i am a newbie here, but there *IS* a checkmark in the Thunderbird program that says "Enable adaptive Junk Filters" and "...first train THUNDERBIRD to identify junk mail by..." It is in the 4th tab of (Each) Accounts email settings, in the Program.

[Yes, i have asked Microsoft Hotmail/Outlook to Block Obvious Malware a thousand Times but they do Nothing each time - they don't mind Anything that Forces your Inbox to fill up faster and have to pay for the Free email service. They either Encourage it outright or Turn a Blind eye, to It]. Sad, that i even have to Ask to block KNOWN and Common Ransomware & Malwares. But, maybe it's Time to Shop for a new email Provider, Yes.

Hi,

"You seem to want" = "Here's how I am interpreting your inquiry"

My first response is still valid. If you want to block in the sense that I described, you have to work through your e-mail service provider.

As I said, you can also filter messages in Thunderbird after they get past the server. You found the function for filtering junk messages. That will move messages from your inbox to the junk mail folder or the trash. I would not say that it blocks malware. Those messages still reach users and users can still open them, click on links in them, et cet.

You wanted to block these messages before more people get hurt. This filtering will happen only on your computer. No other users will be protected from these messages.
