When I used to use Thunderbird (long time ago now), I couldn't make a
blacklist that was effective.

However, I installed mailfilter with its own .rc file that acts as a
blacklist.  Mailfilter kills mail on the server before its downloaded,
but it works only on POP3 servers.  Run as a cron job every couple of
hours it keeps my mail pretty spam and annoyance - free.

When I download my mail it is sorted by bogofilter pretty efficiently,
certainly better than Thunderbird's spam filters at the time, and after
checking I can delete the few pests I now get.

I suggest that way to setting up a blacklist and can send you an
edited .mailfilterrc if its any help.
