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.

    I have started getting the same senderless spam emails, about 6-12 a day. It's ridiculous that this happens here when I've never had a problem with Gmail. I would completely delete my Outlook if certain accounts I had weren't locked to this email.

    Beyond incompetent and a complete joke. I will be telling everyone I know, both personally and professionally, to avoid this platform. This is also like the one thing AI could actually help with in terms of pattern recognition and yet we get the awful copilot instead...

    I constantly get emails with no sender email in my outlook email.

    I was going into view source, finding the from email address and blocking it.

    That was working great for a little while. Unfortunately, this last week the from email address isn't even listed in view source.

    All is has is From and then blank.

    These are coming to my junk folder plus my inbox. How is this happening?

    I bet I've gotten a dozen of these just today that I have no way of blocking. It was just a few yesterday. Is it going to be a couple dozen tomorrow?

    It's getting ridiculous. Is there another email provider that stops people from spamming you with no sender information at all?

    I knew how to retrieve the real e-mail, but my question is how can theses junk e-mails bypassed Microsoft Anti-Spam Rules ? If i Block a Specific Email, it shouldn’t be able to reach my inbox or junk mail, but, unfortunately that’s what I’m dealing with by the minute. Can a Microsoft Employee contact me so I can get to the bottom of this ?

    Thank You All for your Help !
