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.

    Here is a simple solution I used to delete every email from renew@ or preview@ for PC user. ( sorry for the Web).

    First create a rule:

    Be sure to select the 2 first option on the Step 2: Setup rule options

    The name of your Junk email and deleted folder will be different from mine.

    Create a VBA macro:

    Sub renew()

    Dim oStores As Outlook.Stores

    Dim oStore As Outlook.Store

    Dim olRules As Outlook.Rules

    Dim myRule As Outlook.Rule

    Dim olRuleNames() As Variant

    Dim name As Variant

    Set oStores = Application.Session.Stores

    For Each oStore In oStores

    On Error Resume Next

    name = "******@outlook.com"

    If oStore.DisplayName = name Then

    Set olRules = oStore.GetRules()

    For Each name In olRuleNames() 

    For Each myRule In olRules 

    myRule.Execute ShowProgress:=True, Folder:=oStore.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderJunk) 

Next

    Next

    End If

    Next

    End Sub

    You will need to add the developer tab to access VBA and create project.

    Then add the macro to your Quick access tool bar.

    Press the button Project 1.renew and all email from renew@ or preview@ will be move to the deleted folder.

    good luck!

    @Ron6576 How did you contact support? I cannot figure out how to do so and I also am experiencing countless emails from renew@ that just a few days ago now started coming from preview@. I'd like to report this somehow but cannot figure out how/where to do so.

    Yes, I meant the "renew" and "preview" group...

    How long should it last before they react?

    I agree but there have been many cases where users spam volume goes down suddenly. One of my users became a spam/phishing victim about a month ago. More than 1500 junk mail hammered his mailbox in 7 hours. They came from more than 600 unique IP addresses that belong to Microsoft. Suddenly it stopped completely. I did nothing except contacting support. They must have caught the spammers who abused their system. I'm a 365 subscriber.
