Settings: Junk Mail: Blocked Senders: Domain Gostarmedia.com & *@gostsarmedia.com do not block incoming spam

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!

    I added how to block these, albeit one at a time and Microsoft removed that post.

    Well for me that is now just the first issue. Two days ago Outlook started throwing away non-spam/non-phishing emails. So now instead of just dumping everything and avoid using outlooks phishing and blocking functions (which obviously don't work), I have to sort before I can do anything.

    Only way it will change is with a lawsuit that somehow causes the stock to sink, otherwise nothing will change.

    Forgot to add, half my LinkedIn notifications are going to junk mail and I have never done anything to label them junk, Outlook cant even properly sort email from a different division of the company.

    appreciate your solution, BUT.....

    a 13 or 14 step process for users not as adept at 'puters as you obviously are and even worse then using AI via chatgpt to resolve is 13 or 14 steps too far.

    Microsoft/Outlook.Hotmail must end this reign of terror by .gostarmedia.com and resolve it at their end BEFORE it negatively impacts their millions of users.
