Deleting a Apple Discussion post ...

What is the point for Apple discussion to delete my post without explaining clearly what is the reason ?


I simply ask how to create a shortcut that would create a rule to delete a domain name of a spam email.


Apple discussion simply deleted my post. what is this censorship ?

What's offending in that ? If it is deleted again could the AD support send me an email explaining my error or mistake.

No one here who didn't see the message that was deleted can tell you why.


If you have a message that was deleted for violating the Terms of Use, you will receive an email telling you why (though it will be fairly general). If your post was deleted because it was a response to a post that got deleted for cause, you will not get an email. Collateral damage as it were.

In my opinion, nothing. It's hardly the first time a user has asked how to filter out unwanted emails.


But, you still can't do things like trying to get naughty words past the filters by purposely misspelling them. Since I never saw the post, I'm not at all saying that's what you. It's just one possible reason why it was removed.


Did you get any email from the hosts explaining its removal? If not, what also often happens is someone else's post was removed for a reason, and yours was an attached response in the chain of responses. The way the system is set up, the hosts can't remove only part of a chain. So, it may simply be that your post was collateral damage.

Now that the deletion is answered, can we dig into my problem.


Here is an example. Let's say I received an email from abcdfr@domain.com.


I want to delete any email ending with @domain.com


Often spam are sent from the same domain but with a different prefix. I want a shortcut that would create a Mail rule that would automatically delete any further email originating from @domain.com.


Somebody has an idea how to create that shortcut ?
