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!

    A number of you report being blocked for forwarding emails to Microsoft. Clearly that approach does not work. Follow the advice posted by Mohammad Ali Canada, this will remove 100% of Gostarmedia emails.

    What is the point if they are going to withdraw that work around in a few weeks? I tried it wouldnt let me log in to outlook to proceed!

    All we need is for rules to work in JUNK like they used to, or better still Microsoft actually do their job and filter out the likes of gostarmedia at their server.
