UPDATE now only getting INFO @ email

Anonymous

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.

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!

Many thanks JanieJCPL - some very helpful suggestions there. I have been systematically blocking every single one of these messages then deleting them into my deleted items folder. I also set up rules with every name used in the subject that is obviously a US company or business on the basis that I will never have any emails from them.

I have gone from receiving sometimes over 30 of these messages a day down to one or two but I'm well aware they can change tack at any time.

Thanks again.

I created an Outlook rule as suggested here that seems to be working. Here's how I set it up:

Apply this rule after the message arrives with "Infofeed" or "Info@" in the message header

Forward it to ******@office365.microsoft.com as an attachment

and move it to the Deleted Items folder

and stop processing more rules.

Having said that, these messages end up in my Junk folder initially, and then I run all my Outlook rules against the Junk folder, watching carefully to see what gets moved. I thought I was the only one obsessed with getting rid of these! LOL I also mark all Junk mail as Read before I run the rule, and then check my Deleted Items folder for any Unread messages to see if something got swept there unintentionally.

I have the same problem. I have set up many different rules to get rid of them and nothing has worked so far.

I set up a rule for infofeed in the address to go to delete and I still get them and when I view the source From is listed as =?UTF-8?Q?Miracle_?= =?UTF-8?Q?_Sheets_?= =?UTF-8?Q?_=7C__Upgr?= =?UTF-8?Q?ade=5FSlee?= =?UTF-8?Q?p__?= <infofeed@techhideout.store>.

Rules are not working and I am beginning to think if so many of these emails are being received and blocking, reporting and rules are not stopping them then they must be coming from a Microsoft affiliate and Microsoft is the one selling our information.
