Still getting emails from blocked sender

Anonymous

I keep getting spam emails from the same senders even though I've already blocked their domains, as well as all of the other email addresses/domains that were found in the message sources. 

  • WHY am I still receiving messages from domains that are blocked??
  • Why is there no option to simply block a sender's I.P. address?

All of the spam I receive comes from the same 3 or 4 I.P. addresses, but they have tons of domains at their disposal to spam people with.

I don't want to resort to creating a new 'rule' every time these idiots come up with a new domain to send their spam from. So before you suggest that I create a new rule for each and every one of these email addresses, my response to that is NO. I shouldn't have to. Aside from the fact that doing such a thing would be far too time-consuming, when I block someone, I expect my email provider to perform that function properly and without fail.

    Sir/Madam, I have been dealing with this problem with blocking emails from both my junk mail folder and my regular email folder for over at least at least a year now. I have repeatedly contacted Microsoft technical support and they did supply me with some possible remedies to the problem, however nothing and I mean nothing worked and I simply got fed up and to the point that I gave up. It has become a part time job to keep deleting all these emails that I do not want to see or read. The "Block" feature on outlook.com does not and I mean does not work as I truly believe it is a flaw in the system and it should have never been released into production for public use.  Obviously the Microsoft  Quality Assurance team did not catch this problem and issue while outlook.com was in the development and testing phases. Best of luck to you and hopefully one day they will fix this problem or send some type of a patch to all the outlook.com users so they can execute and run the patch to correct and fix any and all issues with outlook.com. One thing I must add here before Microsoft made the decision to migrate to outlook.com they had an excellent, no problem  or issues email system called hotmail.com and it was the best and Microsoft should have kept that system in place as there were no problems and issues. Thank you.

    Do they arrive in your Inbox or in your Junk E-mail folder?

    I am having the same issue

    I keep receiving E-mail from Libertynewsnow.com every time  I get their Emails which is every day about 4 or 5 if no more, what I do is I block them, every single one of them. However, I am still receiving their Emails, which makes me wonder if Microsoft Outlook it is not associated to these guys I hate to be dealing with their Emails after blocking them soo many times.

    Hi,

    Sorry for the delay in response.

    As this was an ongoing issue in Outlook.com & it has bee fixed now, kindly I suggest you to remove & re-add the address in the be block senders list & check if the issue persists.

    Follow the below steps.

    • Sign in to your Outlook.com account.
    • Click the gear icon located on the upper right panel of your mailbox, just beside your username..
    • Select Options.
    • Select Safe and blocked senders option.
    • Click Blocked senders.
    • In the Blocked email address or domain box, type the email address of the sender or the domain that you want to block, and then click Add to list. Once you add an email address in your blocked senders list, you may also need to delete the account details from your contact list.

    Do let us know if the issue persists, we will be happy to help you.

    Thanks & regards.

    Mohammed Ali.
