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!

    As the author/OP of this thread, the solution to use Flow sounds great. However, this is a paid service. So, I won't be using it. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/products/power-automate/ because it's a paid service, owned by Microsoft. To paraphrase an old joke from the 80s' this a toothbrush salesman giving someone hungry a **** sandwich and then offering a toothbrush to make it go away.

    This reply-to domain is clearly used for Spam.

    Microsoft, if you're reading this, how about blocking the damn thing already!

    What is the point if they are going to withdraw that work around in a few weeks? I tried it wouldnt let me log in to outlook to proceed!

    All we need is for rules to work in JUNK like they used to, or better still Microsoft actually do their job and filter out the likes of gostarmedia at their server.
