How can I get spam emails from these senders to stop? They are in the junk folder, so rules don't work.

    This is useless. the domain changes each time. the only constant is "preview@" this is what i want to filter on and directly delete all those messages so they don't go to my inbox or junk folders.

    not being able to delete on the junk mail folder is allowing this single identity to bypass all the rules and spam 100's of messages a day to my folder.

    I'm not sure this helps. the blocked senders does not allow wildcards or just to look for preview. The spam is getting thru because they are making up fake domain names.

    You need to add functionality to allow for wildcards or just looking for a specific word.

    How can I block the sender when the sender address is slightly changed for every message? Sender always starts with "preview@" followed by a constantly changing combination of random letters and numbers.

    Linda.Wan: This is not a tenable solution. That would result in losing the legitimate emails that are incorrectly sent to junk (it happens often enough to be considered).

    I have had the same issues with my junk email folder! All of these solutions this forum will not work. I recieve 50 plus emails daily with the configuration; preview@ whereas the domain changes for each junk email. This occurred immediately after I began using this online version of outlook. I prefer Mail & Calendar and I had no problems with junk email. I'm up to 950 blocked domains at this point that I've blocked manually. The message description for sending each of these junk emails to me always read "undisclosed recipient."

    I believe it is your engineers' responsibility to address these problems for the consumer. I do not open any email or distribute it online unless the site is for personal business. It is up to Microsoft to provide a secure email platform. These domains are stationed all over the world from Russia to Las Vegas. Nevada. From what I've read here all of the solutions will not work because it originates at Microsoft. I've sent feedback of course. It is an internal technical issue that requires someone to evaluate the symptoms and start believing the consumer.
