receiving many spam emails from sender renew@

Anonymous

Every day I receive 20-30 emails where the sender from address starts with renew@ (see image below) Outlook is placing these messages in the Junk email folder. But, every day I have to scan the Junk mail folder looking for appropriate messages that should have shown up in my Inbox.

I would like to create a Rule that automatically deletes any message in the Junk email folder who's sender name begins with "renew@"

I have actually created a rule but I cannot figure out how to run it against the Junk email folder.

    I have the same issue from this sender. Massive amounts of spam every single day. The problem is sometimes real email gets added to the junk folder. Therefore you must check junk mail folder regularly to ensure real mail isn't being deleted in the junk. Scanning for real mail in the junk is a horrible, tedious experience when you have 40+ email per day from Renew@ spam. Blocking each of these one by one does nothing, as every email somehow has a different address, despite starting with Renew@.

    Microsoft needs to batch block or track down this specific spammer. It makes using Microsoft email experience horrible to the point of unusable. Please help.

    Since this is such a common occurrance do you think Microsoft could stop these messages from being sent to start with? Some of us don't want to simply ignore them. We expect the largest tech company ion the world to be able to outwit some dude in a backroom spamming scam emails.

    Since I receive so many spam messages that have a sender starting with “renew@“ I would like to create a rule that could get applied to the Junk email folder. This is a very detectable pattern that could easily be resolved with an enhancement to the Rules engine.

    I find myself on the same position. I hate having to block +50 adressess each day and having to scrap through the spam folder just in case a false positive was detected... It's just a shame we can not apply rules to any folder... come on!!!

    I have the same problem and it is not possible to block them at once because the emailadres is different every time.

    Please help us solve this!
