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!

    The problem is that the domain blocker works on a complete domain, not part of it. If it were "******@gostarmedia.com" it would be blocked but these guys are sending it as "sender@(random junk).gostarmedia.com" which would not be blocked.

    Hey MS,

    Listen, you have been told that the solutions on this query page are not working. Emails from gostarmedia.com are unstoppable, and the people that use your products want these emails to stop.

    Make *@*.gostarmedia.com accepted in blocking, or sanction gostarmedia.com completely.

    Please do something about it.

    Thank you.
