Blacklist SPAM filter not effective

Gary Finke

I'm getting around 50-100 spam emails everyday from what I believe are 2-3 companies pumping out multiple emails with different topics. I have tried to individually mark them as junk, but it seems that they've configured their email to always slightly change the delivery address to overcome any junk mail tagging. I have tried to blacklist using root terms within their email address but still with no apparent success. I have raised the Spam Auto-Delete Threshold from 4, to 3 and now to 2 and it hasn't made any difference. A few still get blacklisted / removed which was good, but cPanel seems to only delete once I enter Outlook, brings them up and then removes them in front of my eyes. So when I log into Outlook, I see all these SPAM emails initially and then a couple disappear. When I look at my emails on my phone, they are not removed, so only some are removed but only once I have opened Outlook. I would have thought a blacklisting process would delete them before they get passed on to me through my web, Outlook or mobile phone email accounts. Hence, it appears to be a very useless blacklisting process. These SPAM emails have essentially destroyed any proper use of my email address and cPanel doesn't appear to be effective at controlling them. Does anyone have any recommendations to effectively delete these? I have cut and paste some property details from one of the junk emails as below. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
