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

    Thanks again for the tip, I'm apprehensive clicking anywhere on malicious spam, even right clicking them, so I try and look for the same options in their convoluted mess of an UI and give up! I appreciate the help you've offered though, thank you!

    I understand It's not easy to migrate your contacts etc. to another client. I've been weening my contacts and website login details to my other email address for a while now and can appreciate the hesitance on your behalf to do the same. They likely know they've got us by the balls sadly and why so many of us are trapped here.

    I've had about 6 more spam mails from that address or thereabout since the bulk of them have been caught now. I'll continue to try and migrate though as mentioned and eventually get away from this abusive relationship with outlook.

    Thanks again for your help, I hope you have a good day!

    Hi, I have the same issue, but Outlook won't accept @jean-patrique.co.uk in the text box. It keeps telling me to "please add a sender." What is the workaround to redirect these, or have them deleted.

    miss the @ sign - just use jean-patrique.co.uk
