Overwhelmed by onmicrosoft.com SPAM EMAILS

Microsoft has to decide how to allocate programming and other resources to tackle any problem. This is not an insignificant issue to address. They need additional pressure to determine this is worth fixing.

Start reporting these spam emails to RBL systems (Spamhaus, Mailspike, Abusix, and Spamcop).

Maybe just pick one, and stick to it, and recommend to others to use that one RBL to hopefully centralize the impact.

Can you imagine how quickly MS would address this if they got blacklisted?

Yes, the cynic in me shouts, MS will just pick up the phone and call the RBL and in their own special, way, suggest that the RBL be removed....

But who knows, maybe one of these RBL's is less susceptible to MS strong arming.

"While it's not possible to completely eliminate spam..."

Yep. The excuse to not do anything about spam.

Of course, there is one way to eliminate most spam: cancel EVERY 'onmicrosoft' account!!!! Yes, those with those accounts can get much better service through FREE email clients, for example mail.com is splendid! I have my private domain emails forwarded there with filters that work with about 97% effectiveness while Microsoft, well, I tried blocking filters with about a 97% non-success rate.

Having a private URL domain is supposed to be a supereb guard against spam emails. For over 17 years using the FREE Thunderbird client, spam emails showed up about two times a month.

Har har, with Microsoft Outlook I get that in 18 minutes!

And to think we have to do all the work in going through and deleting spam emails that should have been trashed automatically by the plethora of filters.

"You get what you pay for!" FREE Thunderbird, costs nothing....very few spams. Microsoft, pay big time....big time loads of spam.

Yep, getting the money's wprtj!

Heh. I have a mail.com account too...have yet to see spam in it.

Yeh, that one along with using Thunderbird email client keeps spam at a teeny level.

Those two are ABSOLUTELY FREE, while Microsoft.... is a big waste.

Too bad GoDaddy got idiotic by having its email service ruined by changing to the 'better and more effective' Microsoft email delivery system.

"Have you tried to unscribe from the email?"

Oh really? Do you mean you expect paying customers to take much time and effort to go through the spam and hit the 'unsubscribe' button....which none of them have?

Since 'onmicrosoft' is part of Microsoft, from what I have learned, it is expected for Microsoft to do something about them.

How about eliminating all 'onmicrosoft' users from sending any emails?

By the way, I have tried all the blocking methods stated...THEY DO NOT WORK!

One thing I.did is have my emails forwarded to a free account through Thunderbird...a FREE email client. Its blocking filters work far more effectively than Microsoft's!!!!!!

When using Outlook, I was getting about 16 spams a day. Through the FREE email client, Thunderbird, the most is three or four.

"You get what you pay for" is a phrase we hear so often. The more we pay, the more SPAM we get!

Are you freaking serious Shakiru??? That's the worst advice ever. You're telling someone to click on a link in spam?? **** is wrong with you!!?!? What a stupid thing to say, you should delete your answer asap.
