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!

appreciate your efforts and was not trying to argue about your workaround solution.
It's just that Microsoft needs to fix the .gostarmedia.com issue and not leave it to users to find a workaround
MICROSOFT: once and for all fix the .gostarmedia.com spamming problem now!!!!!
its not that many steps and i'm an old git not adept at computers but i managed to sort it so out so if i can most other people can, esp if they are as angry with gostarmedia for posting tons of spam and microsoft for not making it easy to stop, ... i would have thought a solution that works is better than no solution at all, so not sure why i bothered trying to help if that's the attitude, yes microsoft should sort it out but they havent yet, and nothing wrong with chatgpt, its just a tool to get information, look elsewhere if you want, its just where i got my information from.

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.

Death would be simpler for this old guy.
Do the right thing, Microsoft, and block these perps. Why do you allow ill will to build against you?
i managed to sort it using power automate which is is a cloud-based service by Microsoft that helps you automate repetitive tasks and workflows between apps and services. go to https://flow.microsoft.com/ to get to power automate, log in create a new flow, select scheduled cloud flow, name it, set frequency, new step, search for outlook.com (not outlook 365 in my case as on hotmail), select 'get emails' set folder to junk or whether spam appearing, new step, add a condition (search for it) choose contains set this to gostarmedia, then if contition is true delete email... use Chatgpt to explain how to do it as you do it... i tried everything else but THIS WORKS! why microsoft cant just have this accessable from hotmail i dont know.
