Default How to block spammers in newsgroups

I enjoy perusing various newsgroups. There is a great deal of spam

1. Checkmark: Where the From Line contains people
2. Checkmark: Delete it
3. Description: Where the From Line contains @gmail.com

What am I doing wrong? I cannot show the complete FROM address because there
are thousands of spammers. The only thing they have in common is that they
send their spam from
