@Gus - not trying to teach granny how to suck eggs - you've been around for too long - but are these all from the same source/same subject &c?

One for our resident email expert, then. I assume you have no reason to contact hotels.com?

If you check the Return-path@ value in the headers of the message is the domain part of the address (after the @ symbol) always the same (it might not be hotels.com)? If it is I suggest entering that in the 'blacklist' panel on the Manage My Mail Spam tab.

Persistent 'offer' spammers often change this sender domain slightly from time to time so if blacklisting appears to stop working check again and add the changed value.

As @spraxyt has suggested then, blacklisting should work.

Re: marked as spam still getting through

I've no reason to believe it's not working. It doesn't work on a per user basis though, it's global, so simply marking a message as spam a couple of times isn't necessarily going to alter the filters behaviour.
