I am getting 6-7 emails daily from infofeed. I have blocked the domain on everyone I received. This sender keeps changing the domain. How can I stop / block infofeed emails.

Examples:

infofeed@ some store

infofeed@ infofeed@MY UPDATE PART! I finally was able to block infofeed@ spam. Now I cannot block INFO@ emails. It is noon and have had 12 so far. None of the rules I set up before is working. I am now just deleting them.

Outlook | Web | Outlook.com | Email

No, sorry for the confusion. My Outlook rule runs against the Inbox, so it finds those messages where the header info has 'infofeed' or 'info@', and moves them directly into my Deleted Items folder, bypassing my Junk folder altogether. The part you could not read was an additional action I set up to forward the message 'as an attachment' (which is the only way I could get it to forward) to Microsoft's phishing email address [phish at office365 dot microsoft dot com.] I want to forward all of these to them so they can work on a solution. So this is now keeping my Junk folder clean, and I set the properties on my Deleted Items folder to display only the number of Unread messages so I can verify they are truly all junk. To do this, right-click on your Deleted Items folder, select Properties, and then Show Number of Unread Items. Hope this helps!

    Thank you very much for the response. Your comment on the differentiation between the desktop Outlook vs Outlook Live makes sense. I'll continue to look for ways to deal with this in Outlook Live.

    Thanks for the screenshot which shows you are using Outlook on the web (referred to as Outlook Live), which doesn't manage Rules the same way as the full desktop version of Outlook, which is where you can run your rules from any folder. Here's a screenshot from the desktop app.

    All- I appreciate all the feedback on this annoying topic. I cannot figure out how to run rules against my Junk folder. I saw prior posts about running rules while in the Junk folder. As you see in the screen cap below, I'm in my junk folder. When I run the rule, it still runs it against the inbox. Thoughts on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

    Having read all these responses, I've modified the rule to look for.

    -sent to target account (my travel email)

    -infofeed in sender address

    -forward to reportphishing at apwg dot org (Microsoft doesnt seem to do anything I may add it later)

    -permanently delete (I'm now confident its not capturing valid emails and there is a backup in the "sent mail" folder as attachment to the forward)

    -run in junk mail folder

    That should make my morning routine dealing with 40+ emails a lot easier.

    Thanks to all for the helpful suggestions
