Automatically delete blocked email senders to the trash (Not the junk mail folder)

Is there a way to automatically delete (as in send directly to the trash) my blocked senders?

I have ticked the box that says send blocked users to the trash, but it only puts them in the junk mail folder.

This requires sifting through 300 emails per day to make sure I don't delete something important that has been funneled to the "JUNK" mailbox.

This is ridiculous and needs a fix.

MacBook Pro 17″, OS X 10.10

You can look at rules as an alternative—

Same problem - After updating to iOS 17.3 (updating always creates problems, sadly) - incoming e-mails from blocked senders Remain In Inbox. The red "blocked sender" symbol shows in the header, but the message is not relocated. Blocked Sender mails do not go to Junk or to Trash since the update.

Yes, I have gone through all the Settings steps. No help.
