I mean to have them (the post office) block it for you?
I'm sorry if this is the wrong catergory but what else could it go in?

No.
By law, the Postal Service must deliver all properly addressed mail to the address in question.
You are free to mark it NOT AT THIS ADDRESS or REFUSED and return it.

The post office will not assume any responsibility for screening your mail. They are supposed to be looking at the addressee and not at the return address so they don't really check every return address. If people are trying to harass you by mail simply stop at the post office garbage can and file their mail in the trash. If you open it and read it you have given them the ability to cause you distress and if that is what they are trying to do they have succeeded. It you give it to postman and have them mark it refused then once again the sender has controlled your behavior. If you ignore them long enough they will grow tired of the game and find someone else to try and make miserable

The post office will not block it. They have an obligation to deliver properly address mail. You can take the envelope and write "Return to Sender: Refused: on it and put it back in your box immediately. They will then return it to where it came from.

Check the postal service web site www.usps.com. I know you can forward mail for a single individual at an address. You might be able to block mail coming from one address.

When I got an envelope from an aunt that I cut off, I didn't open it. I took it back to the post office and they put a "customer refused" stamp on it.

Throw the letters away or find out from the P.O. if you can have them returned to the sender. Explain the situation and ask them what options you have.

No. You could, however, report harrassment to the police. Mail fraud is a serious crime. Federal, in fact.
