Sending, receiving, and organizing email in Outlook.com
You'd think Microsoft mail server administrators would be wondering why their electrical consumption is up since GOSTARMEDIA started hogging up the servers.

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.

*@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!

Just wanted to comment and say I am having this same exact issue! I set up a rule to delete all the messages coming from the gostarmedia.com domain but that only works on the inbox folder. I wish the email rules would also work on the Junk folder.
Class action, I agree.
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.
