I am getting spam emails that have no reply to address so I can't apply rules. Is there anything I can do to stop or just move to junk? It seems I am helpless to prevent these. I don't want to click unsubscribe for obvious reasons.

Have you looked through the long header or the raw source views?

Sorry, don't know what you mean. Please explain further.

View > Message > Long Headers
or
View > Message > Raw Source

These will give you an expanded view of the route the emails travel to get to you. Hopefully, you can find the originator.

Alternately, I have a rule running that might work for you. Any message where the From field does not contain @ is automatically trashed.

That's an interesting rule.

I just click the Junk Mail button (Mark selected messages as Junk) and let Mail learn how to spot them. In recent versions of Mail, this button is a thumbs-down button. []

I set that rule years ago. Now that I think about it, I believe I was getting "empty From field" spam, too.

Thanks for the replies and tips. Quite interesting and I will try these and post back, especially the rule with no @ in the name. This appeals because they don't get through to my inbox. I have been clicking junk and it has worked in so much as any new are marked as junk now, although including some that are not junk. You have to check them all.

If your mail provider supports server-side rules, putting a rule like this there would be better so that this applies to all devices that access this account.

Thanks ... it worked.
