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.

>> So why are you spamming all these replies here and patting yourself on the back if you didn't even test your own suggestion?
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.
If the are in Junk folder, rules won't work. If they're in Inbox... they must have figured out how to beat your rule.
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.
This is awesome. genius.
I’m receiving a daily junk loads of at least 100 junk e-mails. It’s ridiculous how they can bypass Microsoft Filters. They’re are most likely porn related that I didn’t sign-up for. And they even went that far to access my reminders and schedule events without my knowledge. What can Microsoft do about it, it’s very very very annoying to have to deal with this daily. I have blocked thousands of junk e-mails, setup Rules, Filters, nothing seems to be working. Can someone please help and explain why this is happening? Can someone from the Microsoft Team responsible for dealing with this issue please contact me ?
Thanks
