New spam emails that no mater what rules I set up to block them, they still keep coming into my email

Hello, recently I started getting spam email from russian spammer that I did not sign up to receive with the domain name, starlinko.online. I contacted the abuse email that shows when I look up the owner of the domain name, and I haven't gotten one single reply. The abuse email has an "ru" as a top level domain, showing it is in russia. So they apparently know the registrant is sending spam, and don't intend to do anything about it.

When I open the source code of the spam emails, I can see the email address its coming from, with dozens of letters and numbers in front of the @ and dozens of letters and numbers between @ and the domain name, starlinko.online. The letters and numbers change with each email I get from them, making it impossible to block the email address.

In the past when I got spam emails, If I couldn't block their email address, I would set up rules that would block the spam emails based on the subject line, or parts of the body of the email. But for some reason I can't figure out, no mater how many rules I set up that include the exact subject line and exact sentences from the body, those email just keep coming into my email.

If there is anyone who knows anything about this issue, and can help me block these spam emails, please respond with any helpful answers regarding this issue.

Thank you,

Edward

Hello

The rules are specifically for inbox only. If the email is already in your spam/junk folder, the rule will not automatically apply. The junk folder is technically being treated like a "deleted" folder anyway, since emails there are automatically deleted when they reach 10 days old, whereas the deleted folder deletes automatically when items are 30 days old.

You can however, run the rule manually. Choose the run rule now and the pop up window will have the option to allow you to manually choose to apply the rule to the junk folder.

    This is a substantial issue with Microsoft Email systems. Especially if you are Family sharing the email. There is nothing more vulgar and digsuting than some weirdo on the other side of the internet sending people ads for Boner Pills, or ads for Prostitution.

    When a person puts in a FILTER that states a specific WORD or phrase to BLOCK, it should be DELETED and not just dumped into the Junk inbox.

    Doing a reverse search investigation on my email address, Adobe sold my email address out to THOUSANDS of people sometime ago and given the accounts that I use with that email address I cant just up and close the email address.

    Microsoft needs to stop being an enabler and start actually filtering suggestive harmful content. I get hundreds and hunrdeds of spams from rusmika.space, canadian pharmacy, "Russian single hotties", tons of fake phishing emails and you'd think Microsoft would use the hundreds of filters I have put in there where if the SUBJECT or an address contains such words it would flush it out. Nothing like having a private family email address FLOODED with explicit 18+ sign-ups.
