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!

    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 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!!!!!

    Well for me that is now just the first issue. Two days ago Outlook started throwing away non-spam/non-phishing emails. So now instead of just dumping everything and avoid using outlooks phishing and blocking functions (which obviously don't work), I have to sort before I can do anything.

    Only way it will change is with a lawsuit that somehow causes the stock to sink, otherwise nothing will change.

    Forgot to add, half my LinkedIn notifications are going to junk mail and I have never done anything to label them junk, Outlook cant even properly sort email from a different division of the company.

    Just wanted to comment and say I am having this same exact issue! I set up a rule to delete all the messages coming from the gostarmedia.com domain but that only works on the inbox folder. I wish the email rules would also work on the Junk folder.
