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

    I click on all preview@ and then "REPORT" [as phishing] This also blocks them, but of course, blocking probably has no effect unless they are sending multiple emails to me from from the same domain. I am hoping that by reporting as opposed to just blocking, MS might do something about it one day, but I live in hope and won't be holding my breath!

    The moderators are really unaware of this issue with spam emails. Most of us do not use Microsoft 360. So, their remedies are invalid. As I mentioned in my earlier post, I have been swamped with spam from preview@. The message source, "To:" reads "Undisclosed recipients." Here is where Microsoft should stop the email from reaching their servers. My problems started when they changed from Mail & Calendars for windows 10 to this online diluted version of Outlook. The next day my account was compromised and Microsoft was responsible. They need to come clean about a breach in security. For the last month I have been blocking the domain names for all the junk mail I've received. It reduces the count, although why should I have to deal with it when the company can investigate user complaints from their end. Yes, I have sent feedback moderator! The program loads slowly, almost like going back to the early nineties. I'm giving this client another 3 weeks then I'll make another choice.

    Same issue, getting at least 20+ spams per day. Please tell us Microsoft that you're working on better tools to combat spam. As painful as it may be, I just might opt to delete my outlook account.

    I used to get so many emails that would arrive in my Outlook Junk Email folder begin with renew@*** but after blocking quite a few of those, somehow they have stopped. Now I cannot get these Outlook Junk Email folder emails that begin with preview@*** to stop no matter how many times I’ve blocked them. It would be one thing if all of the emails in my junk email folder were truly junk, but often emails that I need are also in that folder, and I need to move them to my Inbox. Therefore I have to search through all of the Junk emails that are arriving, and there are SO many, up to hundreds each day, from preview@*** and they arrive so often, that it is very tedious. Please Microsoft do something about this!!!

    Dear OverFifty

    Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community

    For a large number of spam emails from different senders, it's troublesome to block the sender alone. I understand that these emails are already in your spam mailbox, so you can choose to delete suspicious spam emails permanently.

    Steps: Open Junk Mailbox, right-click on any junk mail 》 Junk Mail 》 Junk Mail Options 》permanently delete suspicious junk mails instead of moving them to Junk Mail folder.

    I hope this information is helpful and if you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be happy to help.

    I wish you all the best

    I too have this same problem. Please get something where we can block (block, not send to junk, completely block the email from being received) from all email addresses that are preview@ and have a wildcard for the domain.

    I have the rule set, so the emails always go to junk, but I DON'T WANT THEM AT ALL. Just allow me to block all emails from preview@.

    Also, I have changed my setting to permanently delete junk mail instead of delivering it, and it doesn't work, it still delivers it.

    Its so annoying and the sender should be fined for harassing people. In the last five minutes i was typing this email i received two more junk mails, see below. always from preview@
