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 followed those steps and I could not view the header (MS 365-Outlook), but the BODY of the email had a reference to a website with www.hiboss.edu." as part of the displayed HTML code in it. I created a rule that searched for that specific body text and deletes it. Worked great (for now). However, there may be other such spam with different content, so I am pursuing writing a macro that searches for the empty sender or the
    removed for privacy" text and delete it that way. I already have a macro that does something similar for junk senders containing "/"s and other special symbols as part of the name. That will save me some work.

    Maybe some good hacker with a good block on their incoming mail (for protection) could spam that sender with a few million msgs a day as a DOS and teach him a lesson.

    No, because of the exception of the "@". I've got over two thousand emails in my inbox, they are still there. :) Follow exactly what the picture tells you to do.

    Doesn't this mean "Delete all messages except for those with blank sender address" ? [Dangerous]
