My Outlook inbox is suddenly getting a ton of spam and I don't know how to stop it

Email response from MS below.

Please rest assured we are aware of large number of SPAM emails landing in the Inbox issue and have engaged the appropriate teams for further investigation and it will be fixed in a future update of the product. As an email service provider, we use several techniques to block junk or spam emails, including content filters, blacklists, and reputation scoring. However, spammers are always adapting and finding new ways to bypass these filters. Sometimes, spammers use advanced techniques such as spoofing the sender's email address or using compromised accounts to send spam emails, making it even more difficult for email service providers to identify and block these messages. Therefore, even with the best filters and spam detection algorithms, it's almost impossible to block 100% of junk emails. Email service providers constantly update their filters and rely on users to report spam, which helps to improve the accuracy of their filters over time. The SPAM emails issue is being worked upon at the back end for many customers facing this issue and there is no more technical troubleshooting regarding this concern to be done at our end.

MS has caused this problem...the only thing they would listen to is a class action to remedy the situation IMHO.

I think exactly the same thing. In a couple of weeks we are going to see some new spam blocker from MS so we can "pay" to not receive this **** !

What you're asking cannot be done here. They have automated spam filters and if they fail, you're getting a lot of SPAM in your inbox.

With rules, you're at least doing a setup that blocks most of them. Not a solution but better than manually deleting tons of spam.

I'm not happy with this either.

You can try making some rules. The SPAM i received had more or less the same keywords, so i made a rule (settings-> mail -> rule) that checks for subject includes and message body includes the spam words and in action select to move them on junk folder and make them read (or delete them). I prefer to have them on junk folder so i can check for false positives.

Hope this helps a bit.

Best thing would be if they fix their SPAM filters.. last couple of days i getting really obvious spam on my inbox!

No, your answer didn't help at all.

The point is to block completely those spams, to receive the sender a message from his/her mail host as undelivered. To not even come to my email. Not to go even to spam or deleted folder.

In the original post some people are missing the point of just one word "suddenly". This has suddenly become a problem because of something done by Microsoft.....so how about they "suddenly" reverse it??????

I had it in the last 2 days, crazy amount of SPAM but today it is better. Maybe they were testing or fixing something.

Hi the problem here is MS is not filtering correctly inbox on saved contacts so we are all geeting tons of spam which makes accounts unmanageable!

MS can you please help?
