So, in my junk email folder I'm getting a lot of emails that have my name as the sender, it has my email in brackets after their details, so when I try to block it I can't, any way around this?

Can you forward it (or set a filter to auto move it) to another folder then set that folder to delete the contents weekly, or forward it to your junk folder?

If it's being filtered as junk already, why do you care? Ignore 'em.

Yeah, they are already going into my junk mail folder but I seem to be getting more and more, prefer to block if I can, although not sure if that actually works, otherwise I just empty it now and then, I'd just like to reduce the amount I'm getting.

You and me both TBH. Less of an issue these days though, now that I'm not downloading rafts of junk over a dial-up connection.

Is your email address from a commercial providor (eg @gmail.com / @sky / etc) or on a domain you own?
