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.

    Two technician have remotely tried to block scam emails but nothing has worked . I'm still getting the same blocked emails daily up to 15 a day 1 in particular sends up to 5 a day they just change part of their email address. I can't understand why hotmail can't sort the issues out . I spend each day sending them to the blocked list it's unfair that most of my time is taken up trying to deal with them. Hotmail need to find a way to keep them blocked .any thoughts of what else can be done to block them.  I have created a rule but that does not work
