Stopping Spam email where the email address is always different

Hi,
I am getting emails which are clearly spam. The content in the body of the message is the same, the email title changes slightly with each email but the email address is changed each time. The email is made to look like it comes from a plus.com address.
I would like to block these emails but cannot black list any one particular email address as they are always changing. Is there any way, using the Plus Net tools on their website, that I can block messages that have certain words in the body or subject line content?
I am a plus net email user and I have prepared, successfully, a rules scenario in MS Outlook to block these offending emails on my laptop. However, I cannot get the same success on my Android mobile which I use to check my Plus Net emails regularly. (Proxy service through Gmail)
I would like to be able to destroy these emails as they "hit" the Plus Net mail server
Any guidance or assistance is gratefully received
Thank you
David

There is nothing users can do in this space- it is indeed painful.
These type of emails should be caught by the spam traps, but the spam traps need to lean what is spam, just as you hint towards 'local' solution. As you observe, that is being make more difficult by the slight variations being applied by the bad actor here.
This and the various other issues remains under discussion between the SUs and the business.

Thank you very much for a most helpful reply.
I shall watch, with hope, that as time moves on the counter measures will be available to email "sufferers" !
Kind Regards
David
