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!

    Hello R J

    Hi, I'm Karl and will be happy to help you today.

    First, any email addresses included in a post are removed for security reasons so no one can see what email address was entered on your post.

    Are these emails being delivered to your Junk folder or to the Inbox? If the Junk folder, those are already considered blocked by the Outlook Junk filter. There is nothing more you can do about those. There is no option to completely prevent something from being delivered to the "mailbox".

    For items delivered to the Inbox where the domain keeps changing, the only option is to create an inbox rule looking for common keywords in the messages using the following settings

    Condition: Message header includes (most comprehensive) or "Subject or body includes" etc Value: ***whatever value you are looking for*** Action: Delete

    Use inbox rules in Outlook.com https://support.office.com/en-us/article/use-inbox-rules-in-outlook-com-4b094371-a5d7-49bd-8b1b-4e4896a7cc5d

    This link will bring you to the <Inbox> rules https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/options/mail/rules

    If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

    I have set up an inbox rule for several of the info emails. I am still getting them. Maybe setting up incorrect.

    The are all addressed To: you. No name

    Thanks for responding

    What is the exact rule that you have configured? Are you selecting these based on keywords as suggested or simply based on the sender address which won't work based on what you've described.

    I have written the rule differently

    I used the sender name using “info” only. Then I used only the domain but I am still receiving these emails. They are all addressed to “you” I tried using that word but it would not accept it.

    I have bee reading more about rules.

    Thanks
