Your subject line mentions Outlook, but you are using Outlook Express to
post (and you neglected to specify in your post's message which
newsreader you mean). Since I assume you really mean Outlook Express
(OE) and not Outlook (Outlook being not very famous as a newsreader), we
can now talk about what steps you took.

You say you created "a bunch of rules" although it seems to me that one
would be sufficient. I just made one in OE6 with, well, here it is:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the Subject line contains 'MI5'
Delete it

My result: no messages from the paranoid poster (nor from this thread)
get downloaded. Victory is mine.

I did this using version "Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000",
which I take to be a bit older than yours, but similar enough. I am
wondering what multitude of rules you tried.

Of course, none of this actually makes the spammer "go away," but I
don't see the spam, and that's good enough for me.
