Phishing for spam

[TC350]

I get lots of phishing and plain spam emails every day, with ever-evolving AI making them even more frequent. Lots gets directed straight to junk mail folders and no doubt lots get thrown out by my email providers before even getting sent to me. So far I have had no problem identifying the unwanted/dangerous mail and deleting it, and mostly I block the senders in an attempt to reduce the numbers. But I do wonder if there's a limit to how many I can block before the file fills up. Does anyone here know?

[I still have to check my junk email folders before deleting their contents. The algorithms used by email software aren't foolproof - a few times emails from friends and relatives have been directed there!]

The same goes for the phone number blocking on my landline. Is that limited such that as a new number is blocked an earlier blocked number is released?

I believe the limit for MS Outlook is 500 blocked senders. For your landline, it depends on the phone you have connected to it; our Panasonic DECT handset system allows 1000 blocked number entries. Once you fill it up, you have to start deleting the older ones manually.
