iOS 18.4.1 Apple Mail, Junk

I stupidly gave money to a political party w my email address. The creeps put me, oh you know, crap! Anyways, is there a better way to stop this disease from appearing in my INBOX. I move them to JUNK, but they just change their address slightly. God, I'll never do this again.
 
Depending on who is the mail provider, can setup server side rules to move to Trash, Spam, etc. I do this on my Gmail accounts: filters delete or move to Archive so as not to clutter Inbox.

Unfortunately, iCloud rules only work with iCloud accounts. Mac Mail rules are only shared between Macs. Put it all together, if not using server side rules, fetching mail on one device might work, while fetching on a different one won't

Might be some good third party apps, just have not tried any as stock apps work well enough for my needs (and using service side rules).


ADD: depending on where one makes rules, some can accommodate wild cards or partial values. For example, “delete message if sender contains ‘@spammerdomain.com’”. So don’t have to trap each e-mail variation. Or “message body contains ‘politiciannamehere’”.
