Blocking Addresses is Not a Solution to Spam
The most common purpose address blocking features on email service providers are used is to get rid of spam.

Since they’ll be using new addresses to send you junk email and spam every single time, there’s really no point in blocking the email addresses you receive spam from. However, Yahoo! Mail’s address blocking feature is nothing short of a godsend when it comes to emails from individuals that you would rather not see in your inbox.
