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!

    You can run Outlook rules from any folder just by moving to that folder. By default, the rules run against your Inbox. But you can move to the Junk folder and run them against that folder. I do this all the time when I find some new condition that I want to add to my Outlook rule. I edit the rule, click Finish, then Apply, then run it against the Junk folder (the dialog box will display which folder you are running against). And I actually used to work for Microsoft for 8 years and have to disagree with your comment that they are selling your info. Since I have been running the rule to report the 'infofeed' and 'info@' emails, the number I'm receiving has significantly dropped over the past two weeks.

    340 spam emails this morning. That is one week's worth. All but 3 are from "infofeed".

    Same. I can't find a way to run rules against anything other than my Inbox. I've created rules that should send these infofeed directly to Deleted, but it doesn't work. This morning I woke up to 27 junk emails from infofeed. I report all as Phish, even though I don't think Microsoft will do anything about it when this otherwise seems like a relatively easy fix for Microsoft.

    I do not see an option to on Outlook to run all rules against my Junk folder. Am I missing something?

    I have set up every rule possible to get rid of "infofeed" junk emails and still get them daily. I noticed that now receiving "info" junk emails too and that is one of my rules I used to get rid of "infofeed".

    I have a gmail account and never get these emails.

    I actually think either Microsoft is the one selling our information and then allowing them to get through or they are technically not qualified to have rules and them actually work.
