Duluge of SPAM from "agenciaidea.es"

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!

    They are now filling up your "Junk email" folder

    Once the messages are in the junk mail folder no rule will work. To solve this you have to right click on the message and allow emails from the domain. Then you can set up a rule to move all messages where the sender's address contains agenciaidea.es to deleted items.

    See https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/block-spamphishing-coming-from-agenciaideaes/e2f8b89d-f133-4028-ba4b-ee105005e8e1 for this solution.

    It works, I just did it now. All these stupid spam messages now go straight to deleted items instead of junk mail.

    Here's what the rule looks like. This will *only* work once you've added the sender's domain to the trusted list, so the messages stop going to junk automatically.

    Interesting, so why or blocked sender messages put in Junk to begin with? vs Deleted, if you wish to check for an improperly moved message, deleted can be checked the same way Junk could be checked. Also there needs to be some way to report Spamers like this to someone that can take action against the spam at the domain level. And since the Hotmail accounts are a Microsoft product presumably manged or at least controlled by Microsoft it should be Microsoft that accepts reports and fixes the issue.

    I did that back when I was getting only 10 a day. I didn’t get any the rest of the day and the next it jumped to over 300.
