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!

2025-06-22T08:47:40+00:00 Perhaps by contacting the hosting site GoDaddy or DomainsBy Proxy.com, you can get these emails to stop. They seem to get around the blocking in Outlook by inserting random words in front of .gostarmedia.com.

2025-06-21T12:15:42+00:00 Many years ago I had created a lot of rules that never worked. I dumped all of them and chalked it up to Microsoft's apparent indifference. Never realized until now that the rules option doesn't apply to the junk folder. Like elsewhere in our contemporary lives, the bad guy gets to reign free and is untouchable.

2025-06-21T02:34:34+00:00 I am in the same boat as everyone, and the rule thing does not work. Thanks, everyone, for explaining that the rule is not applied to the junk mail. I think if Microsoft would make that small change so that the Outlook rule would apply to the spam folder too everthing would be fixed and everyone would be happy.
