How do I block onmicrosoft.com SPAM EMAILS? I am getting relentlessly spammed and cannot seem to block these emails. This is a serious problem because about every third or forth email is this onmicrosoft.com SPAM EMAIL. I like office 365 but this is ridiculous!!!

    Over the past three weeks I've suddenly started received spam from several subdomains in the onmicrosoft.com domain. Abuse reports don't seem to do anything since some of the reported subdomains are still actively sending spam.

    I don't think I've ever seen a legitimate email from an onmicrosoft.com subdomain.

    Fortunately I use Postfix so the following line in header_checks will reject all of them:

    /^From:\s.*<*@*.onmicrosoft.com>/ REJECT No spam accepted

    Yes, I know better than to unsubscribe, that only alerts them to a live victim and sells my email address to others. I have already tried blocking domains, and rules work for many, but strangely enough does not work for ONMICROSOFT. THAT is my complaint. I suspect Microsoft prevents rules from working on their precious domain money-maker. They sell that to spammers giving them an air of legitimacy - at the expense of the patience of their real clients. If what I suspect is true, they should be ashamed of trying to make money like this.

    Does anyone else feel this is unethical too?

    OK, Microsoft, no more excuses. Do something about the 'onmicrosoft.com' emails. I've tried blocking them in OWA using rules, but the rules are being ignored, I think because you intentionally block rules to stop 'onmicrosoft.com' spam. I got 27 of them today alone. This does nothing to help your reputation. Be kind to your clients and potential clients and stop the spam using your name to appear legitimate.

    Enough already!!!!

    Whoops, it's about 7-10 days later, and I just got a batch of 6 from .onmicrosoft.com again. Is there no way to slay the Kracken?
