spam from <preview@***> where the *** part changes each time

It could be a real person using AI to generate replies. I recall months ago they introduced an AI generated response and urge volunteers like me to adopt the new feature. I tried it once (but did not post the reply) and decided not to use the feature. I trust my intelligence more than artificial intelligence.

Thanks Ron, yes it could be a human using AI, it just didn't sound like a human response to me and appears to lack understanding of the problem.

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 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.

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@

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!!!
