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.
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.

Hi,
Thank you for the information you have provided.
I have made some adjustment on your account. If the issue still persist, please get back to us and let us know the outcome of the issue.
Your cooperation on this matter will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

That may be how you want it to work, but that's not how it does work. When you add an address or domain to the Blocked Senders list, messages from that address or domain are placed in the Junk E-mail folder. You cannot prevent the complete delivery of junk, only control where it is delivered. Junk mail gets placed in the Junk E-mail folder. That's the design.
If you want something different, make a suggestion at the Outlook.com Uservoice web site.
Hi Mr Tilman,
so basically it's like most English people and politicians these days then?
I have no idea what you mean by that reference, but my information comes from Microsoft's explanation of how the Blocked Senders list works. I'll quote it for you:
Blocked Senders List You can easily block messages from particular senders by adding their email addresses or domain names to the Blocked Senders List. When you add a name or email address to this list, Outlook moves any incoming message from that source to the Junk Email folder. Messages from people or domain names that appear in this list are always classified as junk, regardless of the content of the message.
You can see the entire Junk E-mail description here: Overview of the Junk Email Filter.
So, if you want Microsoft to consider changing it, tell them in the venue they frequent.
Hi Mr Tilman,
I had a feeling you may not have ubderstood what I meant so I'll explain it (even though it is 100% obvious).
Firstly, referring to my comment of It's basically like most English people. Because of the amount of dole scroungers there are down here in England who think they are something special and don't want to bother themselves going out to work to earn an honest living (like yourself and others who work hard every day do work and pay taxes!) and the 2nd comment about English Partitions I thought you would have twigged on to, especially after the vote to leave the EU, what I mean by this is that fact that where there are so many parties sitting round the benches in Parliament arguing all the time and getting nothing done instead of just saying "Oh well, the decision has been made so let's all get together as one party and work together on the future of the UK".
Basically the comment about Politicians is the fact that they do their jobs in either the total wrong way and don't get any results, not properly or not at all.
It was meant as a joke.
Anyway, I think I found another technique with the blocker, when Block is clicked it gives the option to mark the spaces beside to send all future emails to spam to Spam and Delete all existing emails so I unticked the box next to Send to Spam, I'll see if that works as it isn't going to be sending messages to spam, just deleting all future emails from the blocked addresses.
I'll let you know in a few days.
