I couldn't agree more with you Gopalakrishnan. You are absolutely right. I am very thankful that there is such filters because this is really quite helpful as I am used to creating filters too. But it is just a month ago when I am informed by my office mate that there is already a Chrome extension for Gmail that can block a specific email address or even the entire domain of the sender (all in just one click). This helped me a lot. It also automatically deletes my unwanted email forever so I can now use my Gmail happily ever after. :-)
