Spam emails with no sender address

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.

    Ah wait. I get it, it is the exception rule that makes it work.

    Clever.

    Thanks

    Close but you got it backward. It's the other way around.

    How would that work? Deleting all senders with an @ will delete every email except the ones without the ones without a sender adress.

    there is no such menu item. A script can test for it or use the trick of using the "@" EXCEPTION will do it. The logic is not straight forward, but it DOES work.
