I was just editing my post to say something similar.

Agreed! And the British don't speak English very well!

I've been getting junk E-mails from @message.fedex.com, which a low-level FedEx rep says is not legit (I'm waiting on someone higher up there to confirm this), and I don't want the legitimate messages from @fedex.com to be blocked if I block the messages from @message.fedex.com.

If an email falls in the forest when nobody is around, does it really make a sound?

It depends on the mail client you're using. In MS Outlook, I can block the sender (which should be host-specific) or the sender's domain (which should block all hosts and users from the same domain). I say "should" because Outlook has always been a bit flaky, and the latest version is not very predictable. I've never used Yahoo Mail, so I can't advise you, but you might try searching for some FAQs on their site.

I don't know about Yahoo Mail, but every other e-mail client that I have used allows one to block both the user (abc@xyz.com) and the domain (@xyz.com). They also require separate rules for subdomains (@xyz.com vs @tuv.xyz.com).
I doubt that blocking @message.fedex.com will block @fedex.com.

As others have said, you should be able to block individuals. We block access to yahoo mail. Source of Ransomware some years ago when employee checked her email and clicked on wrong thing. Ruined my weekend, but had air gapped backups. Good, but undesired, disaster plan test. Another way to test: port forwarding.

So, I read this article: Easily navigate code delegates while debugging - Visual Studio Blog[^]
and I am so glad, I just don't give a flying f*** anymore. I started doing serious Windows development in 2003. I inherited a project that used ActiveX controls. Just local, no downloads - all embedded system work. I have to plow through the changing terminology of COM, DCOM, COM++, ActiveX, etc. After 3 years, I declared it utter bull****. MS renaming things just to rename things for marketing purposes.
So, I read this devblog article, and though delegates are somewhat different than function pointers, its the same old bs from Microsoft renaming stuff. Worse, I suspect it made it into the C++ standard. I don't know about that, nor do I care.
Starting next week, I'm moving to linux.

That's the difference between a senior and a junior dev. Juniors think they discovered fire half the time, but most things are rehash and rebranded with a tiny bit of newness. But, it's really the same ol' thing with a new bell and whistle.
I still use the example of XML and SGML. While XML was more strict with its DTDs, the concept of XML or a DTD was nothing new. About 10+ years ago during the XML craze, you'd hear a lot of peeps swear they discovered fire with it... even though SGML has been around for years prior. Just rehashed stuff with a bit of umph added.

You'll love it man. I've only done C and web dev on Linux, but the c lib at least has a surprising amount of functionality to it. A Linux box really does make a great dev box.

I think you're not noticing that managed code, to the extent of .NET and maybe Java, (I don't know much about Java except that I hate eclipse,) was revolutionary. It dumbed down programming on a scale even greater than the effect Visual Basic had on Windows application programming.

...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Not sure how you can draw that conclusion based off an SGML example. While I do concur the "rise" of XML and .NET were around the same time, that example stands independent of .NET, so I'm not sure what I failed to notice given the concept has nothing to do with managed code in and of itself and more to do with junior programmers of any generation knowing little of the past.

We just happened to be scaling more in the time of .NET.
I don't think anything will ever dethrone VB/Office dev as making dev simpler, save maybe new AI things that don't yet exist but harken back to those "design by wizard" but with way way better wizards.

Oh, and IMO it's a bit easier to do multithreaded work in C on Linux than Windows.

I love thread handling in C#. I can go high level and just let the framework do what it thinks it's best, or I can go low level and take complete control. And threads (aka async tasks) with awaits, while it can be a bit of a hurdle to sometimes realize what I did wrong and to how to break the chain of, oh, this method is now async, so the parent has to be async, oh wait, the grandparent now has to be async..., yeah, how to do deal with that takes some finesse, but I still love how C# implements the whole mess.

I do have to admit man, while I've done very, very, very little multi-threading in C#, from what I've seen it does make it nice. More recent versions of C++ do as well.
