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!

That's EXACTLY what was going through my head also!
I'm easily getting 150+ emails PER DAY, with at least 50 - 75 flooding my email before noon - onset about 1 - 1½ weeks ago. It's hard enough to sort through all the spam for the half dozen or so emails that aren't, because despite having them IN my contacts already - complete with plenty of details that make clear they are NOT spam (one is my mom), yet Outlook keeps redirecting them to the junk folder...
Anyhow, this new, maniacal spammer uses myriad "From" names and subject lines, from major company names like CVS, Verizon, Fox News, as well as implying I've ordered something and urgently need to reply.
The address they are ALL coming from:
******@agenciaidea.es
Since they are using "From" names to which they are NOT entitled, I've been checking them in bulk and reporting them as phishing. I sincerely hope Microsoft finds a speedy solution because these folks are egregiously out of control!

Email sent and received by the addressee Señor Miguel Ángel Figueroa Teva**.** I did request a receipt and read notice. The received notice has been returned, so the address is valid. Now, let's see if I receive a read notice.
FYI - I just checked my Blocked Senders listing and after numerous block sender's requests via Outlook, the address never made it to the list. So, I manually added the " ******@agenciaidea.es" to the spam blocked senders listing. Now I'll wait and see if this helps.
I'm sorry to hear this, it is still working for me, for hours now. Maybe some of the other tips by others will work for you.
