MS Office Outlook rules

I get a lot of spam.  most is 1x-3x and then the email domain 'evaporates.'

but some just continue on for weeks/months/years.

 

so I set up a "rule" - if sender's address include (text); permanently delete.

 

seems the "Rules" function will only accept five

text1 or

text2 or

...

entries.

 

so I established a second Rule - to add additional permanent delete spammer url.

problem:

there is a check block "and stop processing more rules" - which I uncheck and it auto rechecks.

I initially thought it meant 'stop processing more rules on-that-message'

but apparently it means 'stop processing any more rules of any kind'

so what happens is....

"rule #1" encounters an address to permanently delete in my inbox

and does not process "rule #2" - so I'm left with all the spam-to-be-permanently deleted contained in the five spammer url's of rule #2

 

how does one tell MS Office Outlook to 'keep on chugging' and process all rules listed?
