how can I block spam from 'appspot.com'

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

    Hi spartanSM,

    I'm Tyler, an independent advisor trying to help.

    As I understand it, you haven't blocked the domains of those spam emails right? If you don't, I would suggest doing so. That should help stopping the spam emails.

    In the article below are steps on how to do so!

    I hope this helps you.

    Try creating a rule. For instance if sender email contains "hotmail-notice.appspot.com" then "delete".  I just tried this this morning hoping at least they won't go into my junk email folder anymore.
