I am suddenly receiving spam calendar invitations/appointments in Outlook (Microsoft 365 Family).  Disappointing that Microsoft has not addressed this.  My McAfee virus scan is also giving me the "No Viruses" when I scan.

    So your feature has now become an exploit and your solution is to disable it. Why then should I not switch to Gmail or Yahoo where this is not an issue and I can still seamlessly utilize my email and its integrated calendar feature to organize personal and my professional events?

    Hotmail/MSN/Live/Outlook you have failed. It's been long overdue... you are fired!

    I am going crazy with 5+ Outlook calendar invites per day. The get into the Calendar and start showing up as reminders. Using owned copy of Outlook 2021, Full Suite.

    Even did this in options, removed "automatically process...."

    How do I stop all these junk mails from populating my calendar with week long reminders?

    Here’s how I got rid of it so instead of filtering it on hotmail because it doesn’t work find the email in your junk that matches your spam invite and block directly from your iphone so if the email is “ (your membership has expired)” example

    1. click on the email
    2. then click on From which is the email address of sender,

    3,. do not click on links in the email,

    4 block the sender from iPhone like you would a caller

    1. The event will disappear.

    This is not happening in any others yet like yahoo gmail ect but as far as hotmail it’s not gonna block it. The rules just don’t work as they should and these clowns use 5000000 emails to spam us, I’ve tried to block IP addresses that doesn’t even solve it is just more work for me. Hope I helped someone

    Edit Make sure you delete the message after you block that is a key point that I forgot to mention. Got 1 this morning
