Reviews of block sender:
Not only does this seem to not work but it appears to have been caught up in multiple "no-reply" email back and forths which have resulted in my gmail account being temporarily suspended from sending emails. I have sent an email to the site requesting cancellation and details so no need to reply asking me to send an email.
This extension is brilliant! It gives provides the ability to block spam by pretty much any field you like: AND IT WORKS BEAUTIFULLY. It does lack the ability to select all or multiple blocks and thus change the settings for them en-mass, rather than having to change each block individually which is tedious and time-consuming. I'm confident that the developers will agree and add this simple functionality boost soon.
I added this extension to block spam emails and I had high hopes but after adding the extension and removing it a few times to try and refresh it, I still only see part of the corner box of operation and makes it very difficult to use. I have since removed this extension and will be looking at another extension.
