I flag messages as "Junk" all from same URL (@spammername.com), but each shows a different "From" and "Subject" and they keep appearing in the inbox.

Thunderbird puts some repetitive incoming messages in the "Junk" folder. However many messages that I designate as "Junk" are all from one URL (for example @spammername.com), but each message shows a different "From" and "Subject." These continue to appear in the "Inbox" and I must manually click each as "Junk." Is there a way to create a "Black List," or something similar, in Thunderbird, so that ANY incoming message from @spammername.com is directed to the "Junk" folder?

This is how it works, you need to train the junk filter.

If you want to block a specific sender, check this article. But this doesn't work well for spam messages.
