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!

    its not that many steps and i'm an old git not adept at computers but i managed to sort it so out so if i can most other people can, esp if they are as angry with gostarmedia for posting tons of spam and microsoft for not making it easy to stop, ... i would have thought a solution that works is better than no solution at all, so not sure why i bothered trying to help if that's the attitude, yes microsoft should sort it out but they havent yet, and nothing wrong with chatgpt, its just a tool to get information, look elsewhere if you want, its just where i got my information from.

    i managed to sort it using power automate which is is a cloud-based service by Microsoft that helps you automate repetitive tasks and workflows between apps and services. go to https://flow.microsoft.com/ to get to power automate, log in create a new flow, select scheduled cloud flow, name it, set frequency, new step, search for outlook.com (not outlook 365 in my case as on hotmail), select 'get emails' set folder to junk or whether spam appearing, new step, add a condition (search for it) choose contains set this to gostarmedia, then if contition is true delete email... use Chatgpt to explain how to do it as you do it... i tried everything else but THIS WORKS! why microsoft cant just have this accessable from hotmail i dont know.

    I also have been plagued by gostarmedia junk. Where outlook is being let down is that the emails are flagged as having no sender address, probably because the sender address starts @' This sends them to the junk folder for me. If I put a rule to delete all emails with sender address containing @' and test that rule it will delete any emails like this which I have transferred to the inbox but any new arrivals have already been sent to junk and thus are not processed (i.e. deleted).
