Still getting emails from blocked sender

Anonymous

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.

    Yes. And we're still getting the messages in our inbox when they should be going to junk. I've been getting messages about how that domain or sender was blocked or junked when I'm trying to get it out of my inbox, probably because I already blocked it, but lo, there it is.

    Blocking means that messages will be delivered to your Junk Email folder, not that the messages won't reach your mailbox, They will be kept out of your Inbox.
