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

    I believe rules only work for your inbox not your Junk Folder, so if these are going to your junk folder rules will not work.

    What I did was actually block the domain of these emails such as 

    hotmail-verified.appspot.com

    hotmail-marketing.appspot.com

    hotmail-dating.appspot.com

    certificate-253617.appspot.com

    and that seems to be working.

    Here is a link that goes through the steps on blocking.

    I'm getting over a 100 emails a day from domain "259323.appspot.com". Tried to setup a rule, but get an error message that the sender is not found.

    I think the ''appspot.com'' sites are governed by googles ad partners.

    here are some of my findings.. 

    hotmail-verified.appspot.com

    hotmail-marketing.appspot.com

    hotmail-dating.appspot.com

    certificate-253617.appspot.com

    Correct - rules do not apply to the Spam folder.  I suddenly started getting 100's of spam emails after years of not getting any on my hotmail account.  I have been working with MS Support to no avail - no reduction in spam.  Until they allow use of rules in the spam folder, i think there is no relief...
