I am getting as many as 50 emails a day from appspot.com

the emails come in many forms - examples:

  • ******@bjallthebj.appspot.com
  • ******@facebokmessenger.appspot.com
  • ******@datingnowclub.appspot.com

***and many other versions

I have been blocking them, but think I have reached my limit of blocked senders

MS support states you can have up to 1,024 addresses or domains in the blocked senders and safe senders lists

I have diligently been reporting them as phishing & blocking them daily - but seems there is no remedy?

***is there anything I can do to stop these emails from coming in?

Outlook | Web | Outlook.com | Account management, security, and privacy

    This is why I started my transition to gmail a few months ago. Perhaps this is another way that Google is making Outlook (formerly Hotmail) look like trash?

    I've been using thunderbird and created a filter to delete these emails in thunderbird client, most of the time it automatically cleans my junk folder from appspot.com, even for manual run, its just one or two clicks.

    Try creating filter in your mail clients.

    Here is my filter:

    1. "Rules" do not work on anything that goes to the junk folder.
    2. "Block" causes messages to be sent to the junk folder.
    3. Blocking a user or subdomain is useless when the usernames change by the minute and the subdomain names change by the day.

    It's ridiculous that you can't stop emails from coming into your junk email folder. You should be able to block senders completely from sending you any email at all, not just allow it to filter into your Junk.

    It's bonkers that I have to add a junk email sender to my safe list, just so I can delete all these emails.

    Come on Microsoft, sort it out!!
