receiving many spam emails from sender renew@

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.

Brian,

Could you please tell me how I can present my problem to Microsoft. It appears that many Outlook.com users are experiencing the issue in which spam email are sent to our Outlook.com email account. The sender is listed as ******@xyz.com (the domain names are different on every email).

You have very kindly pointed out that the Rules engine works only against the Inbox. Furthermore, you stated to leave the messages in Junk email and they will get deleted after 30 days. For many of us we received 25-50 of these annoying emails every day. We must periodically scan the Junk email folder for authentic messages that ended up in that folder.

I have posted an enhancement suggestion using the Help, Feedback feature of Outlook. I was wondering if there is a way to escalate this issue with the appropriate team at Microsoft.

Thank you.

Your fix requires the desktop version of Outlook. I am using the web version of Outlook. I believe the majority of the people posting replies are also using the web version.

Outlook Web Version detects these emails and automatically deposits them in the Junk email folder. Thanks for offering your solution but it won't work with the Web version.

We need Microsoft to enhance the Rules engine to run against folders besides the Inbox.

I have posted an enhancement request. But, do not think they will respond to this annoying issue in the near future.

I have the same issue. 50+ spam every single day. I must check my junk mail folder regularly to ensure that something I need isn't being deleted in the junk. Scanning for real mail in the junk is a very tedious experience when you have so many emails 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@. There has to be a fix for this. PLEASE HELP.

Are you blocking these as they come into the Inbox? If so, rather than block (send to Junk Mail folder) you can use a rule to automatically permanently delete all emails that come the Inbox with the word "Renew" as part of the senders address regardless how different the rest of the address is.

Look at my prior post on creating the rule and at the point of what to do with the email select permanently delete it options. Once the rule is made and active, any email with Renew in the address will be permanently deleted.
