domain in Blocked Senders list not being blocked

I have received 4 emails in my spam box from a domain that I have previously blocked, namely elmogaz.uk.net

Is the blocker not working ?

Hi @Willmouger.

Thanks for taking the time to highlight this. 
I've fed it back to a contact I have within our email team, and if I need any further details from you I'll let you know!

Peter

It is a waste of time blocking the domain that you see on spam emails. If it was that easy there would be no spam.

The email address and domain will invariably not be the actual domain that the spam is coming from as the email address will most likely have been spoofed to over come the spam filters and fool the recipient into opening the email.

See link about spoofing.

If you go into the Headers of the spam email you will be able to see the originating email address and domain and it is that domain that needs to be blocked.
