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.

    Obviously this man Brian who states he is a MVP-Outlook does not understand or comprehend my problems and issues here with Outlook.com and I have spelled out everything to him, plus the fact the time delay in responding is horrible to the letter. I am not surprised one bit and the time has come to scrap using Outlook.com and move on to another email provider who has full functionality that works. Thank you...

    Sir, with all due respect I am going to disconnect myself from this post and discussion as it has become nothing but a waste of my professional time and you have really not provided any solvents, remedies or resoultions to my problems with outlook.com. I am totally surprised and taken back here that you being an [MVP-Outlook] or your corporation does not have any better answers than what you have provided. I will attempt to contact Microsoft corporate by phone or email to try to get the answers I am seeking and looking for...

    I must and whole heartedly must agree with what you have said and stated here, as it is a total disgrace that outlook.com has so many problems and issues that is it literally pathetic and all you keep hearing and receiving from Microsoft is "We are sorry for this convenience". It has gotten to the point, I am seriously considering closing my outlook.com email account due to the fact it is not dependable at all.

    I will give a perfect example of what happened yesterday. I was attempting to "empty" my deleted emails folder and I right clicked on it and there was the option to empty the folder. I clicked on it and a warning message came up stating, "You are about the delete all the emails in this folder" and I clicked on it as that is what I wanted and desired to do. So it started it's process and there was this wheel spinning on the screen and another idiotic message, "We are running as fast as we can" and about a minute later another warning message came up on the top of the screen, "Something happened on our end and please refresh the brower". So I did refresh the browser and attempted to do the process all over again and it still did not work and the end result is I was unable and still not able to empty out the entire contents of my deleted emails folder.

    I am not sure who is in command over there at Microsoft research and development and quality control, but I have been in the information technology business for 30 years and if I had ever released a product or deliverable into production like that with so many problems and issues, I would have been fired and terminated immediately and I would be standing on the corner in New York City with a cup in my hand begging for money. Both thumbs down Microsoft on your outlook.com email product as it leaves much room for desire...
