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!

    Perhaps by contacting the hosting site GoDaddy or DomainsBy Proxy.com, you can get these emails to stop. They seem to get around the blocking in Outlook by inserting random words in front of .gostarmedia.com.

    No. The rules don't apply to gostarmedia.com.

    I am in the same boat as everyone, and the rule thing does not work. Thanks, everyone, for explaining that the rule is not applied to the junk mail. I think if Microsoft would make that small change so that the Outlook rule would apply to the spam folder too everthing would be fixed and everyone would be happy.

    1. Regarding Wildcards and Domain Blocking Limitations: Your suggestion about wildcards (*@*.gostarmedia.com) is indeed very valuable, and many users would appreciate more flexible blocking options. Currently, Outlook.com's "Blocked Senders" feature primarily targets complete email addresses or top-level domains (like gostarmedia.com). For more complex subdomain variations, a simple domain block might not be enough to cover all cases.

    Not "many users" would appreciate, a ton of us would appreciate. Why doesn't Outlook.com just allow this type of rule? The "primarily targets complete email addresses" is obviously not enough. Just change it and the problem is solved.
