How do I block a sender who is using the LCR to send email messages? it looks like if I block their messages with my email provider then it will block all communications.

If your individual email address is the same as your household email address, then you could just remove your individual email address. The LCR Send a Message app only uses the individual email address.

Most likely you'll have to develop rules in your email system to detect email from that sender and route it accordingly. How that would be done depends on your email provider.

Gmail has a pretty robust filtering system. You can detect emails coming from "noreply@churchofjesuschrist.org" and contains "It was sent by Joe Smo"

Depending on the nature of the emails, I'd also talk to that individual and/or the bishop about your concerns. I can't tell from your message if it's a misuse of the system or just that leader's "high touch" style.
Have you searched the Help Center? Try doing a Google search and adding "site:churchofjesuschrist.org/help" to the search criteria.

Thank You both for the replies,

In the first instance I could easily remove my email from the system but that would remove all the other communication as well. There is just one individual that I don't want communication from, I would not say he abuses the system, albeit uses more blanket emails than necessary.

I use Hotmail and had a look but it seemed like it would block everything from "noreply@churchofjesuschrist.org" I didn't check for extended rules, good idea!

Again thank You both for the replies
