Thunderbird should have an option to block domains or specific IP addresses.

I'm receiving spam with constantly changing 'from" addresses, so filters don't work. Blocking an IP or an entire domain would be helpful.

Using static filters to fight spam is hopeless. It's therefore recommended to use the Thunderbird built-in Junk Mail Controls. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Junk_Mail_Controls
