Rules not blocking spam

I have been receiving 20+ Spam emails per day which all originate from addresses that begin with "cbd@" and end with ".de"; the middle portion is an ever-changing random mix of U & lc letters. I created rules which call for any address, subject or message which contains any combination of these to be deleted and they disappear when I click "Apply". However, I continue to receive more later. If I "Edit" a rule and click "Apply", they disappear but more continue to come in, all from the same "cbd@" and ".de", with slightly altered middle portions of the address. I've also moved these rules to the top of my rule list but they still get through.

I'd love some help with this!!!

If you would post screen shots of the rules, perhaps someone can make a suggestion to improve them. Make sure you cover any personal information.


Post the screen shot in a Reply using the camera icon or you can drag the screen shot into a reply. Copy and paste doesn't work.

(sorry for the delayed reply)

Here's a screen shot of a set of rules I have wwritten that are seemingly ineffective. All the email shown to the left are from some variation of the address shown in the first rule, cbd@(something).de. I just deleted 60 of them after making this screen shot and before I could get it in this reply, I received another from cbd@cslBr.de. The cslBr portion changes constantly to something different with each email.
