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!

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
A number of you report being blocked for forwarding emails to Microsoft. Clearly that approach does not work. Follow the advice posted by Mohammad Ali Canada, this will remove 100% of Gostarmedia emails.
Reported 15 to Microsoft's algorithm team this morning. Anything to be helpful.
Your original posting was easier to follow. This new posting leaves quite a few things out.
The only thing that may be more helpful to me now is this, which was not clearly explained in the original post:
triggerOutputs()?['body/Id']
I thought I had this thing beat yesterday. For 2 days, Sat & Sun, I hadn't received one email. Then, here comes Monday, and I've got 30 junk emails from gostarmedia.com again. I set up another flow using this new Message ID info. Hopefully, this one will work 100%.
Thanks. I'll let you know.
14 pages of complaints and one outside of Outlook, offbeat, complicated solution. The algorithmic solution you propose will build naturally has so far had little effect. Why does it seem that most of these bad actors reside on other continents?
I 100 percent agree to the "I'd like the function to block a domain..."
It should be common sense that block means to prevent. In this case it definately should mean block the email from arriving to my email address period. Sending blocked "items/domains" to the junk mail basically allows users to continue receiving abuse from unwanted offenders.
It would be nice if their software would give us an option that would allow mail to be deleted (or even permanent deletion) after their software detects messages that are clearly forged. It should be pretty obvious when the email shows "no sender address" (web client version) that means that it's likely to be forged. Obviously to reveal the details they are trying to hide, we have to look at the message header.
In the United States, if you want mail to be blocked, from a SPECIFIC individual, company or organization, go to the USPS. If the USPS gives some random excuse, then next step is to go through courts to file some legal action and/or form of a restraining order (or some form of "Anti-Harrassment") against the offending sender.
