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.

    Using the Previous Mentioned Action of Viewing Message Source & Creating a Rule which Includes the email Address in the <> "Does Not Work". In Addition, I have also Copied & Pasted "Every" email in the Message Source, Copied & Pasted in my Blocked Sender's Section in Outlook. Still does "Not" Work. This is Driving me Insane.

    I have tried doing this, but it doesnt work. I am getting smashed with 60-100 spam emails a day. I am missing very important information in my email. It is beyond frustrating.

    I have the same problem. multiple emails per day to inbox. No email address. Not able to block, I constantly report as junk and pishing, as most are from a bogus anti virus provider telling me my pc is infected.

    Are you saying to click reply to see the sender address and use the address to block??

    Don't try emClient. As far as I can tell it won't even allow me to Block. Outlook will but only on real emails. I have tried the free version of emClient not the paid one. The Outlook mail is use is the one on W10/11. Again free version.

    I spend hours every day looking in junk mail to make sure somebody is not in there by mistake. I use to spend most of that time blocking domains which is futile.

    I still search for good ones but just block everything now other than ones that aren't supposed to be there. At the end of the day I delete everything in the DELETE folder which always approaches 200 entries.
