How to stop Google Forms spam emails in Gmail

Updated: July 2, 2026

Getting flooded by forms-receipts-noreply@google.com? Learn how to set up a quick Gmail filter to block Google Forms spam instantly.

Spammers exploit a built-in Google Forms setting to route junk emails through Google's own verified servers, allowing them to completely bypass Gmail's standard spam filters.

Every single one of these messages arrives from the exact same official sender address: forms-receipts-noreply@google.com. Because it is a trusted Google domain, the only way to stop them is to create a custom Gmail filter that automatically deletes them on arrival.

Set up a Gmail filter for forms-receipts-noreply@google.com

1. Open Gmail.
2. Click the settings button (gear icon).
3. Click See all settings.
   
4. Click Filters and Blocked Addresses.
5. Click Create a new filter.
   
6. In the From field, paste: forms-receipts-noreply@google.com
7. Click Create filter.
   
8. Check the box for Delete it.
9. Click Create filter again to save it.
