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.

    The way I understand it, 1. adding a sender to "blocked" doesn't stop mails from reaching your account...it just routes them to "junk"....ALSO:(  2. as I understand it any "rules" I create only apply to messages that had been routed to "inbox", so if "filter"  "exclusive" has been selected  mails from everyone that's not on my contacts list or added to safe senders are routed to junk, and the rule doesn't work....So what happens is your junk folder gets full of ****** and you have to go through it every day to make sure nothing good is routed to junk and then automatically deleted in 10 days....This just happened to a bunch of emails from TurboTax when I did my taxes....

    Where do the messages arrive - in the Inbox or in the Junk Email folder?

    I would like to add a footnote here to this thread. I had a major problem going back and it was extremely serious and I contacted the local and State authorities. They were as useful as a book of wet matches. They informed me they would be in contact with me and still to date I have not heard a single thing. Again, tax payers hard dollars at work. I have to agree totally for you to get yourself a new email account and wave bye-bye to your existing email account. As well, like what was said here keep all your social media private for sure and protect yourself as no one else will, especially in some parts of the filled toilet bowl of society we live in today and hopefully it will change in the near future. Good luck to you...
