It used to be so simple to block unwanted senders. I block them now and it
does not work. I still get them. Whats up?

As far as I was able to find out it is impossible to block them permanently,
because the hackers have a way to get around the block. I had the same
question several months ago, and I asked a technician about it and this is
what he told me. It is not that the message is not being blocked, but they
manage to somehow hack in to the system. I know that this is not what you
wanted to hear, but maybe Microsoft can come up with a super solution in the
near future. I have a spam program and all the junk e-mail go automatic there
so it is easier to get rid of them. You can have it for free,

Stop using e-mail addresses to identify spammers. It doesn't work.

I asked a technician about it and this is
all.
Blocking based on an email address is anything but efficient as most (read:
pretty much all) of these addresses are only used once and are spoofed
addresses. Therefore, you usually will have a pretty clean Blocked Senders
List as there is no need to add each and every address to it you received
spam from. For the occasional message that drips through your Junk Email
filter, use the DELETE button on your keyboard.

I think it is time to fire that technician as this doesn't make any sense atwhat he told me. It is not that the message is not being blocked, but they
manage to somehow hack in to the system.
