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.

2024-02-26T18:29:25+00:00 Apparently they figured out how to beat that rule because they come in my inbox not in my junk email. Oh well, they are easy to delete it would just be nice to not have them show up at all. Thanks and have a great week.

No one is patting... whatever... I'm just trying to help but if it ain't working, it's clear to me spammers are smarter than you, eh? I have no issues with spam regardless of the provider.

2024-02-26T18:08:24+00:00 I created that exact rule and it doesn't stop those annoying emails with no sender shown. I'm still getting them and all I can do is delete them when they come in.
