you cant really stop a domain sending you email, however your email client can make advanced rules to deal with it. the method depends on your email client. here is an example using gmail.

Block messages from an email address or domain - Google Workspace Admin Help

As an administrator, you can help prevent spam and malicious email by blocking email addresses or entire domains. This way, you’re automatically rejecting messages from them. Your blocks are in additi

Google does a good job of sending them to spam, just always periodically check the spam folder for friends emails going into there but if you clock one from your bank or something in your spam folder, it probably isn't your bank and google has clocked the phishing page/email. So leave those there.

Other than that, ignore your spam folder and crack on with your inbox.You can find a setting to remove 'spambox' from your 'All Email' button which is annoying when they show up in that link on normal settings.

I use Gmail for business so it delivers my own domain email to outlook on my phone and laptop, and I have removed the option to show me the spam folder altogether on my devices as it's so reliable usually.

i done that on hotmail but all it does is stop them from inbox. they still come into junk.

you have to make a rule that says delete the emails from the domain rather thank junk them, this depends on what email client you use here is microsofts answer:

1. From your Inbox, click the cog icon

.
2. Select More Mail Options .

3. Under “Preventing junk email”, click Safe and blocked senders.

4. Click Blocked senders.

5. Put in the domain in the field under Blocked email address or domain:


6. Click Add to
list.>>

You can also try to create an e-mail rule that deletes incoming emails coming from the specific domain to prevent them from coming through your inbox:

1. From your Inbox, click the cog icon

.
2. Select More Mail Options .
3. Click Rules for sorting new messages under “Customizing Outlook”.
4. Click New
5. On the first column to the left you can select Sender's address, second column choose is, then put in the domain on the third column/field
6. Then select Delete these messages—don't even put them in my Deleted folder
7. Click Save

I'm not sure what facilities you have available on Hotmail, but you may be able to setup a message rule that automatically deletes emails from the domain that's sending them all.

As has been said, you can't really stop people sending you stuff.

And just as I'm about to post this... ^^^^ This message arrives
