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 am being inudated by emails from gostarmedia as well, every day I have to delete ten or more spam emails from my junk folder, I've blocked anything from "gostarmedia.com" so why doesn't the block function just stop ALL emails from this domain?
    If Microsoft does not fix the block function so that spam from this domain does not end up in ANY folder, I will be forwarding these messages to Microsoft so they can experience what it's like to have to do this chore every day.
    I suggest everybody who gets these junk emails should do the same, then maybe Microsoft mught actually fix the block function rather than tell us to set up a complicated junk email rule that pronably won't work anyway.

    Like the multitude of people on this blog ... Microsoft should find and communicate a solution. Or explain why they either can't or are not interested, so in return we can make a value judgment of which email provider aligns with our expectations. We have all utilized this service for many years... don't patronize, find a solution. Gostarmedia is more than just annoying!

    Thanks. Have set this up. Whilst it does prevent some gostarmedia.com emails reaching my spam folder, others slip through which seems odd. Having checked the run history of the flow, it is successful 50% of the time.

    Edit: for those that may understand why (this is beyong my current knowledge), the successful removal of emails occurs in less than 100milliseconds, those that slip through do so after more than 100ms.
