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.

    If I had a job...

    Why don't YOU try setting up a rule or two?

    Another thing that you DON'T understand is that NOBODY deletes your emails, good, bad or from the Twilight Zone, unless you create a rule that says it is to be go to the trash...and even then you can retrieve it should you find it might be legit.

    Antivirus/anti-malware programs can quarantine it so that you can check it out without harm. But I do believe the problem can and SHOULD be taken care of on your end.

    Don't wanna listen, content to throw a fit over it and be miserable? FINE.

    Using 10? Sorry, I sympathize but I don't use it.

    If somebody WORKS FOR MICROSOFT it will be shown in their ID. The rest of us are volunteers, peers, other people like you trying to help if we can.

    Let me ask you an obvious question? Do you honestly believe 'they' like making your life a living **** and then why are you taking that?

    I've heard it so much that I'm leaving you guys to your devices on this. It's nonsense. Use your head and a search engine to figure it out. On top of that you are adding to a thread started 4-5 YEARS AGO when this webmail didn't even exist as currently found. Windows 10 didn't exist, people were upset about Metro and how to get a start menu back in Windows 8.

    Get a grip and use your head. I have a higher functional form of AUTISM and I can still figure out things if I think about it hard or look it up for clues.

    Imagine what you can do with a full mind.

    All you individuals at Microsoft support have been saying and stating the same thing now for almost 2 years "We are working to improve our products and services". Is it really so hard and difficult to solve this technical issue...? I have been in the information technology business for over 30 years and if were ever to release into production a product with so many issues and problems I would be on a street corner in New York City panhandling money to earn a living. Terrible research and development on outlook.com. You should hang your heads in shame for sure...!
