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.

    Did anyone get this to work, I'm getting the same email to my inbox even though i have set it to EXCLUSIVE. Most emails now go to my junk folder, legitimate ones yet the spam email still comes straight to my inbox. What the **** is going on?

    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.
