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!

    well I think I still did something wrong. I just received 2 emails in my junk folder from gostarmedia.com. Did someone mention the @' (at single quote) trick that they are using? The expression I put in the function area was "triggerOutputs()?['body/Id']" (without quotation marks). Maybe I did the expression wrong .

    I didn't paste the expression in the function field before, but I edited my post above and now the function shows up in the message ID field. (see above)

    I've been supporting computers for over 45 years, and while I am no expert, I think I figured it out.

    It works only for new emails, yes the old ones you may delete.

    It appears that Microsoft has left Copilot in charge of email solutions.

    Microsoft should allow users to block any emails where - like gostarmedia - they fiddle with the sender's address (probably by putting in that single quotemark) to make it appear that there is no sender's address which may be why these spammers can circumvent a block on any emails coming from the domain gostarmedia.com. In short, if Outlook shows no sender's address in the Inbox, Junk folder etc. then it should be possible to block such emails (if you don't want this facility, simply don't activate it).

    Considering that Miscrodoft have ramped up their subsription price for Outlook, Cloud storage etc. by 20% lately, you'd think they'd have the resources to fix this, unless they actually make money out of domains like gostarmedia.
