As are your skills in comprehension.
What I'm saying is, for example your
[email protected] account was compromised somehow... maybe Amazon got hacked and their entire database was compromised etc....
And you start receiving junk email to
[email protected]...
You would immediately blacklist
[email protected]
Then log into your Amazon account and change your Amazon account email to something new like..
[email protected] and whitelist that email address.
The only person that legitimately should have been mailing
[email protected] was Amazon, and they have now been updated with a new address for them, so you can now blacklist the old address and you will never see the junkmails.
Advanced tactics could reply to the blacklisted emails with a fake bounce so that the mail flow would cut down as well (mailers do typically remove bounces)
