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!

This is what I have found associated with each of the hundreds of emails received from ******@agenciaidea.es

Add me to the list. I see a lot of complaints and no response from Microsoft. No need to screenshot; same as everyone else. It's getting caught by my spamfilter, but c'mon. Enough already.
I had the same issue. I use outlook online and was able to select one of the items in my spam and flagged it for phishing. This blocked the email address, and I haven't gotten any overnight since doing so and I usually wake up to dozens of these emails, so I think it worked!
Thanks to all for the discussion and ideas. I just did this for the last batch of 10 I received. We'll see what happens.
LET'S RETHINK THIS ISSUE - Change our vision from a M/S Outlook systemwide spam assault to a Denial of Service (DoS) or since there are multiple IP addresses being used to send this traffic, consider this a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack on the various servers that are affected with the daily deluge. For those not familiar with the definition of a DoS/DDoS here is a link to Cloudflare - definition of DoS/DDoS.
Our ISP servers have to be slowed down somewhat just by the volume of trash each email receives. And I'm sure it's not much different with the M/S worldwide system.
Just a thought?! John
P.S. - The domain "agenciaidea.es" is the email domain to the Spanish website Agencia de Innovacion Desarrollo de Andalucia (IDEA)
Has this issue been resolved or is their an acceptable workaround?
