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!

    How do you report them? Just forward them to the Anti Phishing Working Group [reportphishing at apwg dot org]?

    I have the same issue, for the last month I've been getting 40+spam emails per day in my junk folder and all but 3 or 4 are from various combinations of infofeed.*@*.store,

    Fortunately all of these are going to an alias account I use for travel websites which I can delete if it becomes unmanageable.

    I have tried similar rules as described by others to delete the offending items but as they are already being filtered to junk mail it really doesn't add much value to have to manually run the rule. Other than to see which ones are Not related.

    Sending them to "deleted items" is actually counterproductive as the links are not disabled in that folder as they are in the junk folder. So unless you can be confident enough to "permanently delete" them it's probably safest to just empty the junk folder directly. That's another criticism I have with the "report phishing" routine as it doesn't permanently delete them after forwarding, just sends them to the deleted items folder

    I mentioned I use the "targeted" account for travel related accounts or websites, does anyone here have any indication of where their email accounts might have been harvested from? (The subjects of the infofeed mails seem to be random and not travel related at all)

    Be sure to report them to the Anti Phishing Working Group [reportphishing at apwg dot org] as well as to Microsoft's phishing address [phish at office365 dot microsoft dotcom]. As mentioned in another post, I went from 25-50 of these emails every day down to just a couple in this past week after running this rule.
