I’m getting a lot of spam in my spam folder. When I look at the addresses, I’ll see patterns like [adora@dora.marketinginfo.com](mailto:adora@dora.marketinginfo.com), [bdora@lora.marketinginfo.com](mailto:bdora@lora.marketinginfo.com), [cora@mora.marketinginfo.com](mailto:cora@mora.marketinginfo.com), etc. While I can block domains such as @dora.marketinginfo.com, is there any way to block [marketinginfo.com](http://marketinginfo.com)?

And is there some way to make the DEFAULT display run from oldest to newest emails? Right now, it will automatically display newest first, but will allow me to swap the display. I used to have the old way as default, but then they upgraded.

And if I could have more emails displayed per page, that would be great, too.

I’m running Windows 7, with Firefox.
