It would be nice if Outlook would let me set a rule to block entire domains, but I've tried it a few times with wildcard characters for host names ( ie, *.ru ) and it doesn't work. It seems that there are no longer any standards for TLDs these days,too, since all of this new crap is coming from domains that never existed before, like .party, .science, .xyz and such. Since no legitimate email has ever used such an address, being able to block entire domains would be very handy. Grrrr...

Most effective anti-spam product is deletion of email accounts. Often not an option. Spammers keep evolving their signatures so as to last longer whilst they wares are determined to be spam. How else to manage it, then?
I use a domain catchall to forward all of my mail. Everyone I do any kind of business with has a different email address for me. If I start to get spammed, I know who sold me out because, essentially, their name is on it. I create a genuine forward for that email back to them and problem is solved.
Example: you buy bozo.org. Create a catchall account and forward them all to a nice new clean location that is not being spammed (as it's new). If you do business with Amazaon, the use amazon@bozo.org; similarly newegg@bozo.org, etc.
In addition, I never give out the real email target to anyone (not even family) as it makes it simple if I wish to change my account: change my various forwards and I don't have to bother updating anyone else.
Nothing's 100% effective in that some spam generators use randomly generated addresses and simply hope for any number of hits. It's worked well for over a decade.

Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
