Still getting emails from blocked sender

I keep getting spam emails from the same senders even though I've already blocked their domains, as well as all of the other email addresses/domains that were found in the message sources. 

  • WHY am I still receiving messages from domains that are blocked??
  • Why is there no option to simply block a sender's I.P. address?

All of the spam I receive comes from the same 3 or 4 I.P. addresses, but they have tons of domains at their disposal to spam people with.

I don't want to resort to creating a new 'rule' every time these idiots come up with a new domain to send their spam from. So before you suggest that I create a new rule for each and every one of these email addresses, my response to that is NO. I shouldn't have to. Aside from the fact that doing such a thing would be far too time-consuming, when I block someone, I expect my email provider to perform that function properly and without fail.

    My apologies, should have gone to Specsavers. OK, I have found the correct link and adjusted to suit.

    However, I did note that I have ticked "Block attachments, pictures and links for anyone not on my safe senders list" - this has, seemingly, been ignored as I was receiving Junk Mail in Inbox, prior to changing to Exclusive and will wait to see if this function works.

    Thank you for your assistance and patience

    Well, something else must have changed because I have just clicked on the gear icon, followed by Internet Options but still I cannot see the next step of 'preventing junk email' followed by 'filters & reporting' etc
