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!!!

    I've just been sending the headers of each and every one that doesn't get filtered by [0-9].onmicrosoft.com to cdoccm@microsoft.com and report_******@outlook.com. It was 38 yesterday. Before I put that refuse connection rule in, I was doing 110+/day. It's crazy that MS hasn't gotten a handle on their problem with as many samples as we've all sent in.

    Yes, Steven42, "The obvious solution is to block all emails coming from an "onmicrosoft.com". My issue is that I HAVE blocked any emails with "onmicrosoft.com" in the sender address, AND IT DOESN'T WORK! I believe Microsoft has nullified rules pertaining to "onmicrosoft.com". Those damn emails CAN'T be blocked using their Outlook email program (OWA). The spammers use it because it says Microsoft in the address, which give it legitimacy. They PAY Microsoft for that privilege, and it bypasses rules and goes thru to annoy those who use a FREE email system. If this isn't criminal, it at least sure isn't ethical.

    I also think you are correct that Microsoft doesn't care and has no plans or incentive to fix the issue.

    I'm thinking of dumping OWA for Gmail. At least their filters work.

    Microsoft, are you listening?????
