How can I stop this email spam?

I've been getting spam emails from hijacked hotmail and yahoo accounts, sometimes several a day. Each one has links to a groups.yahoo.com page and also to a presumed infected URL. I use Roadrunner email service and Microsoft Outlook. Most of them end up in my spam folder, but some get missed. Is there a Rule I can set up in Outlook to make sure they always go to spam or get deleted immediately? I can't think of how to block them without blacklisting Yahoo and Hotmail domains. Any tips? Thanks!!
