I use a hotmail email address and I've been getting multiple spam emails a day and they don't have sender addresses. If I try to reply to them, Outlook would tell me the recipient cannot be empty. I also cannot block them since there's no sender addresses to block.
This is getting extremely irritating.

2022-08-22T14:32:04+00:00 I'm getting spam mails in my inbox not my junk. I have tried creating rules but I just keep getting emails with new headers and some of them are like "track and trace" and I don't wanna create rules to block them because what if I get an important email called track and trace that isn't a junk mail.
Can you guys please stop allowing people senders with no email addresses to send me emails? I now get about 10 spam mails a day it's maddening.

2022-09-13T17:32:15+00:00 I‘m getting this type of spam daily into my Inbox since a couple of weeks. In my opinion it’s a crude bug and security issue that Microsoft delivers emails without any sending party.
No other serious email provider would accept messages without a valid sending email address. And to consider these messages as not to be spam biggest brain fuu for me.

2022-09-13T19:15:39+00:00 I have fixed this by performing the below steps:
- Select More actions button (...) at the top of the message window and select View message source.
- Scroll down in the Message source until you find the From: field.
- Highlight the email address enclosed within < > and right-click to Copy.
- Use this email address to block the sender.

2022-08-22T17:54:26+00:00 Oh I just noticed that creating rules is absolutely useless. 2 days ago a set a rule that said if the header includes "Track_and_Trace" put it in junk. And I just got an email titled "Track_and_Trace" a few minutes ago.
