Sending, receiving, and organizing email in Outlook.com
I did the same thing. It took several days but now I at least don't get very many if any.
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
After a fairly quiet six months-or-so, I am suddenly getting a flood of SPAM from "******@agenciaidea.es".
I am talking around 50-per-day, and sometimes in batches of several within a few minutes.
They all have the same format, with purple writing at the top and the "advert" appearing as an image below.
Also, the "To:..." is never my email address, but a Hotmail address with a load of random letters (e.g. "******@hotmail.com").
Help!

It would appear the owner of whoever this chain belongs to has switched up their game. **@hotmail.es** just broadcasted some spam to me. And mistakenly he forgot to edit the headers. **@agenciaidea.es** was found in the coding. Just something to keep an eye out for.
C est honteux de la part de Microsoft vous êtes vraiment nul de laisser passer ça, vos ingénieurs c est des bon a rien tout simplement de laisser faire ça
Well, so much for blocking by domain name. As of this morning the flood of messages are back in my junk mail folder because the sender changed. It's now like this:
ChargeCard <*** Email address is removed for privacy ***>; on behalf of; ChargeCard <*** Email address is removed for privacy ***>; (ChargeCard via agenciaidea.es)
and this:
Elon Musk <*** Email address is removed for privacy ***>; on behalf of; Elon Musk <*** Email address is removed for privacy ***>; (Elon Musk via agenciaidea.es)
Basically it's being sent "on behalf of" now from an ever-changing list of email addresses at hotmail.fr. I had to go into settings, add hotmail.fr to the safe senders list, then make a second rule to move messages from hotmail.fr to deleted items. Apologies to anyone trying to email me from hotmail.fr for something legitimate...
Even the emails from hotmail.fr and hotmail.es appear to have agenciaidea.es in their header info, so you may be able to use just one rule to handle them all by using the rule condition of Message header includes agenciaidea.es. Would still have to whitelist the various domains but at least it would only delete the ones from agenciaidea.es and not others. Plus saves from having to create multiple rules.
They go into your junk mail folder...
