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 wish I knew how to contact the appropriate people at Microsoft about this. I noticed the spammers have started using preview@ instead of renew@

    I have submitted an enhancement request to allow Rules to run against the Junk email folder. Right now they only run against the Inbox. If they made this enhancement then we could automatically delete the spam instead manually deleting or waiting 30 days for it to get deleted.

    This same thing is happening to me with emails with renew@ and now it's starting with emails with preview@. I started blocking the emails first, but there is so many, now I'm trying to report them as phishing to see if it helps, but it's so much email. I can't believe Microsoft can't catch this with the number of email & people are complaining about this.

    Update to this question / thread. I had previously posted in this thread about this issue.

    Two days ago right at midnight, the spam account changed from "Renew@" to "Preview@".

    I am no longer receiving spam emails from "Renew", rather 40+ daily from "Preview@".

    Its clear this spammer is gaming the system as the change over is too perfect, from one account to another, at exactly 12:01am.

    I have no idea if this is due to our posting about it, or if Microsoft has done something to result in the spammer changing things up, but for me at least its now changed. End result is the same, 40+ spam emails per day.

    For those finding this thread, please continue to post here. Hopefully if we continue Microsoft will do something to assist.

    Has anyone else seen this address change literally from one day to the next? These spammers are parasites.

    I’m glad to see I’m not the only one having this issue. I thought about trying to run a rule against it, but I don’t use a pc so it isn’t even possible for me to do it. Microsoft needs to resolve this issue. I report them as phishing to no avail.
