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!!!

    Thanks for acknowledging Jim. Another observation I forgot to mention in my comment was that I've noticed that many of the phishing e-mails refer to a URL hosted by 'storage.googleapis.com'. A little research indicates that this appears to be a legitimate site hosted by Google! However, like Microsoft, Google appears to have allowed these disreputable people to misuse this service, presumably for storing some probably malicious code, 'malware' of some form or other. I'm also reporting them to Google as 'abuse'.

    The key takeaway is, I strongly urge anyone who receives these e-mails NOT TO click on any of the URLs as that would probably at least alert the hackers that an 'active' e-mail address has responded and, at worst, infect your device with some form of malware.

    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?

    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!!!!
