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!

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I tried this. it only deletes a few and loads of others are still getting through. why we just can't have our own block domain, like they do on Bt internet i dont know. i get loads from this **** site all day and night
I initially set the flow up to move these ****ing annoying emails to the Deleted folder (to make absolutely sure it wasn't deleting everything in the Junk folder). That worked fine (I was still getting the odd bit of spam from elsewhere that ended up in Junk) and now I have amended the flow to delete the gostarmedia emails I can see them appear briefly (a few seconds) in Junk before they get removed automatically. None have slipped through yet so double check you've got it all set up correctly.
Totally agree with you about blocking the whole domain - it can't be that difficult to make a change to Outlook so that we can do that!
This is BS. I wake up and I have more than 50 gostar spams in my email account. I've just finished reading Sarah Wynn-Williams's book Careless People. The same hand in hand between FB and China and Myanmar seems to be MS and gostar. I've had my hotmail account since 1995; do I have to go to gmail to avoid this avalanche of MS allowed spam??
No, I was getting a bunch of Gmail emails from someone using a ".me" address. I had to complain to me.com and it stopped those, but the spammers have found another way to flood my junk mail. Now they are using emails sent "via" various different sources (including ".me"). They are smarter than Microsoft or Google.
This probably would have worked, but flow.microsoft.com sent me to Microsoft Power Automation (make.powerautomate.com).
There was also a banner that said:
"Important Notice: Starting June 30, 2025, personal email accounts (e.g., Gmail.com, Outlook.com) will no longer work in Power Automate. This change affects users with personal email accounts. Transition to a work or school account today by contacting your administrator or setting up a new account."
Meanwhile, I received 37 emails from gostarmedia.com since yesterday.
I tried to set it up but it failed to connect with Outlook.com.
