How do I block all emails ending with @jean-patrique.co.uk. So annoying - keep receiving them every 10 minutes if not often. In 2 days - 300 emails. Did try to make a email rule, but doesnt help. Any ideas?

EDIT: 16/12/2023 - a bug with the blocked and safe senders and domains lists was preventing the procedure below from working between 12th and 16th December 2023. This has now been fixed.

There is an easier solution:

  1. Log into Outlook in either the web browser or the windows Outlook app;
  2. Click on the 'cog' symbol towards the top right;
  3. Click on "Email";
  4. Click on "Junk email";
  5. Under "Blocked senders and domains" click "+Add";
  6. Type "jean-patrique.co.uk";
  7. Press 'Enter';
  8. Click "Save" at the bottom of the list.

You can check it has saved the domain by starting to type it into the search bar on the right and it should appear even before you have typed it out in full.

This way it does not matter what combination of characters that the scumbag puts in front of the '@', the spam will get caught by this domain. Even better, unlike rules, which only apply to the inbox, this applies equally to junk email, which is where I presume this spam is going, and the result is to block it completely so you won't see it at all - not even in deleted or recoverable items. This is a positive change from previously, where I believe it just ensured that blocked senders and domains went into the junk folder.

This particular gambling-obsessed scumbag changes their domain every so often - they were ******@emails.fenwick.co.uk then ******@xixvodka.com then @monsoon.co.uk then @e.newscientist.com, so you will probably need to enter another domain if the deluge resumes under another guise.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

TE

    I'm sorry but that does not work, keep getting told new outlook does not support rules (im on windows 10 running office 14 )

    Tried the solution suggested, and several others... thanks everyone for trying. I cant seem to get back to the old version of outlook, that did support rules. All the optons are not available and the outlook.exe that used to run it is nolonger in my program files. Think microsoft may have removed it as part of the update....

    Thanks again

    I’ve now blocked

    *@jean-patrique.co.uk (didn’t work)

    *****@jean-patrique.co.uk (didn’t work)

    jean-patrique.co.uk (waiting with fingers crossed)

    That should catch them!! If it doesn’t, I’m going to stamp my feet and scream.

    When I first started this, I tried to add just the domain to the blocked list, with nothing before it, but that wouldn’t allowed me to proceed to add and save. When I put the asterisk in front, it permitted me to continue and save.

    Right, I’ve done that. Fingers crossed!!! Thanks again.

    Hi,

    If you just block the domain - everything after the '@' symbol, so in this case "jean-patrique.co.uk" that should achieve what you are trying to do with wildcards. I was under the impression that Outlook doesn't recognise wildcards, but something could have changed there.

    As for the 'blocking only moves emails to junk email', that is clearly not what the function is doing right now. It could be an old webpage that they haven't updated. Microsoft is a bit of a chaotic behemoth in that regard.

    Cheers,

    TE
