Are you sick of bad email practice? Get a copy of my paper "Implementing
Email Policy" from the Desk Doctors website.

Is this for spam e-mail or for e-mails from the same known sender?
Blacklists of e-mail addresses are ineffective against spam since
spammers lie about their e-mail address and change it everytime they
spew their garbage.
 
I have added a sender that doesn’t change the email address to my blocked
senders, they still end up in the Junk Mail Box. I have created a rule that
say if the message is from yyy.com, delete the message. That didn't work
either as it still appears in the Junk Mailbox. I don't want them in my junk
mail, I don't want them show up anywhere. It would be nice to be able to
delete them automatically.

The Junk E-mail filter runs before the Rules engine, so anything tagged as
Junk E-mail by the filter will be moved prior to rules running. Have you
tried adding the address to the Safe Sender list so that the Junk E-mail
filter will ignore it, then adding a rule to delete anything from that
address?
 
Blocked senders go to junk email folder; the junk rules run before rules
wizard - so the behavior you see is correct. If you remove the name from the
blocked list and the junk filter doesn't pick it up as junk, the rule will
work. It might also work if you put the sender on the safe list and use the
rule.
