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!

    Excellent idea - will give that a try thanks as Microsoft are obviously getting a large bribe to keep letting this spammer harass people...

    Ok. Now, it's been 2 days and gostarmedia.com has been completely blocked from my junk mail using this method as described by Mohammad Ali for my Outlook.com account. I think it won't work for Outlook 365 though. I did run into issues with that, but for Outlook.com, it seems to be consistently working now.

    • Go to https://flow.microsoft.com and sign-in with your hotmail/outlook credentials
    • Create
    • Automated cloud flow
    • Give the flow a name, eg "gostarmedia"
    • In the "chose your flows trigger" paste "When a new email arrives", then select the outlook.com option.
    • Hit the create button

    (you will have to grant access too)

    • Select your junk folder in the folder field here
    • Click on '+ new step'
    • Select "condition"
    • In choose a value select "From", then "contains" and then "gostarmedia.com" in the third field
    • In the "if yes" field, search for outlook.com. Then once you get the Outlook.com actions, go for "delete email"
    1. For the Message Id, click into the field, go to the Expression tab, and enter this:
                  triggerOutputs()?['body/Id']
      
    2. Click OK to save and continue.

    NOW this seems to be consistently working.

    Thank you!! I may try this with another sender to see if I can get it to work with them, too.

    Same and get 60+ every day and can't block they make slight changes in the domain name and it is not just gostarmedia.com

    Why can't microsoft block this complete domain and even criminally charge them?
