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!

    On average, I get 20 - 40 spam junk emails from gostarmedia.com. Doesn't matter how much I block, report as phishing and report copyright infrigement, the emails continue to flood my email. Microsoft seems to refuse to do anything about it. Spam filters also filter out good emails, so it is frustrating that after reporting to ******@hotmail.com and ******@outlook.com, nothing has been resolved.

    There aren't just a few dozen of us judging by the comments that have been posted.

    What can we do? Microsoft apparently chooses not to do anything.

    Seem to remember I had the same problem.

    Try using your keyboard -

    Press and hold the Ctrl key (or Cmd key on a Mac) and then press the V key. The copied or cut content will be pasted at the cursor's position.

    Thanks, that worked. Microsoft really make things complicated, it's like an army obstacle course.

    Here's what I'm using. Every gostarmedia junk is deleted, the rest are fine (including 1-2 emails to the junk folder per day which is fine, it's proof that only gostarmedia emails get deleted).
