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.

    Hey MS,

    Listen, you have been told that the solutions on this query page are not working. Emails from gostarmedia.com are unstoppable, and the people that use your products want these emails to stop.

    Make *@*.gostarmedia.com accepted in blocking, or sanction gostarmedia.com completely.

    Please do something about it.

    Thank you.

    The problem is that the domain blocker works on a complete domain, not part of it. If it were "******@gostarmedia.com" it would be blocked but these guys are sending it as "sender@(random junk).gostarmedia.com" which would not be blocked.
