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!

    Many years ago I had created a lot of rules that never worked. I dumped all of them and chalked it up to Microsoft's apparent indifference. Never realized until now that the rules option doesn't apply to the junk folder. Like elsewhere in our contemporary lives, the bad guy gets to reign free and is untouchable.

    For those who are new and couldn't find a solution for "gostarmedia.com" spam emails — here’s a working method to auto-delete them using Power Automate:

    1. Go to https://make.powerautomate.com.
    2. On the input box: "Search or select a trigger from the list below to create a flow. (Required)", type outlook.com, then select "When a new email arrives (V2)".
    3. The first time you use Outlook-related actions, Power Automate will ask for your permission to connect to Outlook.com — make sure to allow it.
    4. On the Folder input in the trigger, select "Junk Email" (or "Junk Folder", depending on your mailbox setup).
    5. Add a Condition:
      • From
      • contains
      • gostarmedia.com
    6. In the "If yes" branch, add the "Delete email" action.
    7. For the Message Id, click into the field, go to the Expression tab, and enter or prefer copy-paste this: 
       triggerOutputs()?['body/Id']
    8. Click OK to save and continue.

    Should look like this at the end

    This method works 100% — I’ve implemented it and haven’t received a single spam email from this domain in over a week now.

    Hope it helps others facing the same issue!

    The problem is that the domain blocker works on a complete domain, not part of it. If it were "******@gostarmedia.com" it would be blocked but these guys are sending it as "sender@(random junk).gostarmedia.com" which would not be blocked.

    I'm starting to think a class action against Microsoft might be the way to go.
