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!!!

    First off, I'll say that I have two Microsoft accounts, a web-version provided through work, and a personal paid subscription as well.

    In my personal email account, that is not Google and on a secure server, I do not receive any spam mail here, with the exception of spam mails all originating from "onmicrosoft.com"

    This is clearly a microsoft issue, and they clearly have no intention of resolving it. Their feelings about their products, services, and customers is also quite clear. They don't care.

    The obvious solution is to block all emails coming from an "onmicrosoft.com" account. You may miss some legitimate emails, but as another user stated, this will just be an opportunity to explain to someone what the problem is. Eventually microsoft will lose all users to this platform, and maybe then they'll start to care.

    On another note, I had filed a BBB complaint against them for another issue. This went around tech support for a month or so. From this experience, I can tell you with absolute confidence that they do not care about their customers.

    Thanks, this is very helpful. So I only needed to create 10 spam rules in my email client for the 10 digits in:

    "digit".onmicrosoft.com.

    and that did the trick.

    I've decided to script a temporary transport rule that junks/ quarantines everything ending on "number".onmicrosoft.com using regex expressions.

    It seems as if the generated onmicrosoft.com accounts always have a number as last character.

    (credits go to Knox203 in this article --> Spam increase from onmicrosoft.com addresses : r/msp (reddit.com) )

    However,

    Trying to execute this script using the Secure Application Model, it seems as if I have insufficient rights to create transport rules.

    I can't find a definitive answer if this is an application permission problem, or that this is by design. I can however if i use interactive signin, without the delegated application permissions.

    Any thoughts on this?

    We have loads of customers complaining about this rn. Logging into 400 tenants isn't an option unfortunately ;-)

    Thank you, this is the most encouraging news yet. It shouldn't be long before the next barrage hits, and I will forward all of them.

    Thank you so much!!!
