Settings: Junk Mail: Blocked Senders: Domain Gostarmedia.com & *@gostsarmedia.com do not block incoming spam

I have tried MANY MANY options, and just found the following:

The Outlook Junk Mail filter usually acts before email rules do. For those using an Exchange server, keep in mind that the spam filter on the server has precedence. As a result, your rules (both on the server and on the client) won't apply to messages redirected to the spam folder.

If true, you'd think they could add a step to run the rules or at least tell us why our rules aren't working.

I have used Outlook for so many years, changing my email address at this point would be a nightmare, but it sure is tempting.

In the world of AI, you'd think Microsoft would have an AI that could tell these emails are spam/phishing. It only takes a glance for me to identify these annoying emails.

You can block domains but this only stops email coming to your regular inbox. It'll just go to the junk folder instead.

Like many, my junk folder is full of spam from gostarmedia.com and it's a waste of my time having to check this folder to see if any emails I want to read have ended up there amid the junk.

I'd like the function to block a domain so that no blocked messages ever appear in my inbox, junk folder or anywhere else, they are dealt with automatically.

gostarmedia is responsible for thousands of SPAM emails in my junk folder over the past few weeks. Rules don't stop them, Blocked doesn't stop them, absolutely nothing has stopped them. Today alone I have received over 50 and its not even noon yet.

Maybe Outlook & Microsoft should stop soft selling already proven to be inadequate remedies and stop gostarmedia at the source where YOU can screen and block them. You have millions of users who are being abused by gostarmedia as they inundate our email

Really is ridculous, I too have tried every way imaginable to block gostarmedia - I'm getting about 50 spam emails a day from them. I don't understand - if MS knows they are spamming like this then why not block their domain. If at work, my servers started spamming emails Microsoft would shut me down in an hour. This is my hotmail account of 25 years and thinking about moving to Proton...
