Overwhelmed by onmicrosoft.com SPAM EMAILS

I hear you! No, Microsoft has been obviously absent from these conversations. I suspect either they NEVER read them, or DO read them and don't like the implications that they are deliberately allowing bogus spammers to use ONMICROSOFT.COM. If they cared about their reputation or customer satisfaction they would police their domain.

Sorry to hear that Jason. I can only offer one suggestion that seems to have reduced the number of e-mails I receive. (Refer to my post from November 18.) I'm receiving these e-mails on my bigpond.com address and have had to use their web-based e-mail client to block the sending domains. (Although you can use Outlook to block these, the blocking specification doesn't get saved on the bigpond.com server so the e-mail doesn't get blocked at the server.) The bigpond.com server only allows the blocking of senders from a particular domain using the syntax *@<domain_name>. Sadly, you can't specify something like *@*.onmicrosoft.com. So, as tedious as it sounds, I can only suggest you try a similar thing on your e-mail provider's server. That is, try, for example, *@xyz.onmicrosoft.com, for the 'xyz' subdomain.

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.

"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!

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.
