For at least two weeks, I've been inundated with spam from the domain gostarmedia.com. I've created the following "solutions" all without success.

Rules

Sender Address Includes "gostarmedia" (without quotes)

Categorize as Spam

Move to Junk Email

Junk Mail

*@gostarmedia.com

gostarmedia.com

It would be really great if Hotmail could stop letting ****clowns like these from getting through if someone enters a valid domain. That or allow more wildcards (e.g. *@*.gostarmedia.com), instead of only allowing it in place of usernames preceding the @.

Today, I searched and deleted 16 out of 18 Junk Mail emails, that had the gostarmedia.com domain in their addresses.

Thanks!

    gostarmedia is responsible for thousands of SPAM emails in my junk folder over the past few weeks. Rules don't stop them, Blocked doesn't stop them, absolutely nothing has stopped them. Today alone I have received over 50 and its not even noon yet.

    Maybe Outlook & Microsoft should stop soft selling already proven to be inadequate remedies and stop gostarmedia at the source where YOU can screen and block them. You have millions of users who are being abused by gostarmedia as they inundate our email

    You can block domains but this only stops email coming to your regular inbox. It'll just go to the junk folder instead.

    Like many, my junk folder is full of spam from gostarmedia.com and it's a waste of my time having to check this folder to see if any emails I want to read have ended up there amid the junk.

    I'd like the function to block a domain so that no blocked messages ever appear in my inbox, junk folder or anywhere else, they are dealt with automatically.

    I have tried all your suggestions, but I still get gostarmedia.com junk. Nothing works.

    Really is ridculous, I too have tried every way imaginable to block gostarmedia - I'm getting about 50 spam emails a day from them. I don't understand - if MS knows they are spamming like this then why not block their domain. If at work, my servers started spamming emails Microsoft would shut me down in an hour. This is my hotmail account of 25 years and thinking about moving to Proton...
