"blocklist" does already have the meaning of "a list of blocks" in some 
contexts though I believe it is already widely used in several 
communication apps (Signal, etc.) where one "blocks" specific users 
(from ever contacting you, or so).

As a non-native speaker "reject" or even "ignore" would be suitable in 
something like a spamfilter (reject / ignore messages from...) and 
"deny" in a security context (deny access to...). Consequently "accept" 
and "allow" for the opposite.

Kind regards,
Andrei
