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!

    I found the same difficulty in following the website instructions which are more related to actual theft, ransom attacks etc than potential threats from emails

    Regarding your comment "I received the Undeliverable message as shown in the screenshot, saying that those two phishing organizations blocked the messages because they 'contain content identified as spam'. Ironic, eh? I'll continue to watch this activity to see if it persists with other 'infofeed' or phishing emails."

    The forward of these emails needs to be "forward as attachment" so the content doesnt trigger spam protection at the receiving end. the website does specify that for forwarding by email.

    I appreciate your comment about these annoying emails; however, after looking at the site you recommend for reporting these, it appears that you'd have to fill out a report for each different type of 'infofeed' email you received. As you said, time is precious and I doubt any of us have the time for that.

    These emails have almost disappeared entirely since I started forwarding them to reportphishing at apwg dot org and Microsoft's phishing email address; however today in the Outlook desktop app, I received the Undeliverable message as shown in the screenshot, saying that those two phishing organizations blocked the messages because they 'contain content identified as spam'. Ironic, eh? I'll continue to watch this activity to see if it persists with other 'infofeed' or phishing emails.

    With the rule discussed above, I sent 378 emails yesterday afternoon. I have 26 more as of this morning, all from "infofeed / store".
