I have two friends (yes, believe or not they are my friends) that are redirecting all the email spam they receive to my email address. This makes my Hotmail account receive 30 spams per hour (that are not filtered) so I need to keep erasing them and blocking the sender.
I already blocked their email addresses in the "from sender" configuration (the only "block" option that Hotmail allows me) but because the spam that I receive is not "addressed from" any of my friends' addresses (the emails that I receive actually are addressed to them, not me) I cannot block them.
So, is there some way to block an email with a "sent to" condition?
P.S. This happens on my Hotmail account but could have happened with any client that I was using – I have never found a "sent to" block method in any email client configuration so I believe this is not a topic for Web Applications or another site.

You can transfer all your mails to gmail and manage your inbox from there. You will have to sacrifice Hotmail for this and use Gmail, if you already have a Gmail account then its good.
Hotmail doesn't have as much setting and customization options as Gmail provides (IMHO), though I haven't use Hotmail so much, so I can't tell more about it.
