How do I block random people adding meetings to my calendar?

It's now January 2024, and no fix...

Why cant microsoft tell that outside calendar events created by emails like "@p89p3itz.hcj" or "@etaeo1xr.mpf" are spam or phishing??? And the main question STILL, why is ANY outside entity able to add events to MY calendar without MY permission???

Wondering if a class action lawsuit would prompt microsoft to correct the issue

Agreed, this is really frustrating, I am getting spam email and now it adds a date to my calendar which alerts me. i have found that if they come through, I report spam and choose BLOCK SENDER, it takes it off my calendar but I have to catch them first.

We're having a similar issue. The Teams/Skype spam abuse is killing out productivity. We use an PSA utility with Calendar and if there is a conflict, the original appointment is sent back for rescheduling. This is intolerable. There has to be an Admin Rule that we can put in that blocks all of this.

I don't think they care because they don't make any money by caring about this issue. Its really PISSING me off though and I may just see about hiring a lawyer to research the blatant disregard for law and decency that Microsoft is allegedly engaged in. I think a Class Action lawsuit for ALL the revenue that have made from Teams/Skype would wake them up. Basically if they are allowing these fraudulent people to engage our calendars WITHOUT our consent then why do they deserve ONE penny of the revenue from it?

1. In Outlook, go to File and then “Options.”
2. Then, select “Mail” from the Options menu.
3. In the Mail menu, choose “Tracking.”
4. Under “Tracking,” deselect the option that says, “Automatically process meeting requests and responses to meeting requests and polls.”

You're welcome.

To the Microsoft techs responding to these questions; you should find another job because you absolutely fail at this one. Setting up rules to block emails will NOT keep meeting invites from being added to your calendar if the option above is still checked.
