You are not doing anything wrong. Email addresses on your blocklist are redirected to your Spam folder; they are not blocked from being delivered to your mailbox.
For emails arriving in your Inbox consider creating a rule similar to following:
Any email from miscreant @example.com or example,org will be flagged and moved to Spam folder. The advantage of using a filter rule over Blocklist is flexibility. For example, a common spamming strategy is to randomised the part before the @, i.e. miscreant-0@example.org, miscreant-1@example.org; the above rule will catch the variation.
To extend the list append new entries, for instance append |example.net to include it; it is important to separate listed entries with | character — resulting in miscreant @example.com|iexample.org|example.net
When confident the rule is working as intended consider replacing Actions with Discard action.
Hi
Thank you for the reply. I've tested filters in the past, on normal emails, and they have worked. Haven't managed to create one that works on the ones going to spam folder. I've been using conditions similar to the one above. Never used the Regex thing that you have shown. Will try that with a coloured flag to see if it will work for me.
