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.
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.

Hi,
Thank you for the information you have provided.
I have made some adjustment on your account. If the issue still persist, please get back to us and let us know the outcome of the issue.
Your cooperation on this matter will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
Contacting the authorities on this is nothing but a pure waste of time and energy. It''s very simple. The blocking functionality on outlook.com does not work as I have been complaining about this for almost 2 years and nothing has been done to fix the problems and issues with this. Someday, Microsoft will get it's act together and rewrite and fully test the application, then release into production so all users will not continue to have all these technical problems and issues. Good luck to you. If someone from Microsoft reads this, take the initiative and give these problems to the research and development team and fix this once and for all. I won't hold my breath...!
If you are trying to block an abusive partner as you say and the police asked you to, this is a matter for them to deal with. You need a lawyer and should be losing that account as well. Get a new email account don't give it out freely and especially keep your social media profiles PRIVATE.
You need to understand issues of your personal safety that have nothing to do with whether Outlook Mail blocks or not. Blocking an address alone isn't going to keep the abusive person from abusing you. Get legal help and counseling.
I would like to add a footnote here to this thread. I had a major problem going back and it was extremely serious and I contacted the local and State authorities. They were as useful as a book of wet matches. They informed me they would be in contact with me and still to date I have not heard a single thing. Again, tax payers hard dollars at work. I have to agree totally for you to get yourself a new email account and wave bye-bye to your existing email account. As well, like what was said here keep all your social media private for sure and protect yourself as no one else will, especially in some parts of the filled toilet bowl of society we live in today and hopefully it will change in the near future. Good luck to you...
I am also getting emails from blocked addresses. How do I fix this problem?
