Ability to block entire domains not just individual adresses
I have litterally dozens of spam emails from phishing scammers coming from the same domain. I can send 5 or more different emails from the same domain and more show up hours later make the option to block domains in their entirety more visible or make it an option. I've checked PC and mobile versionz and neither seem to have this functionality.

Top level domains such as ..best, .case, .club, .digital, .fun, etc. are heavily used by spammers,

I don't know if you still have same ISSUES BLOCKING ENTIRE DOMAINS. But I had a SIMILAR PROBLEM as you about 1 year ago (2019), getting Multiple Emails everyday from a site in South America, when I live in United States.
I read many people having Identical Problems I was having with that pornographic site. The article STATED it's BEST to just BLOCK THOSE MESSAGE AS IT ARRIVES IN MY HOTMAIL EMAIL ACCOUNT EVERYDAY.
The article continued, also asserting "DO NOT CLICK REMOVE FROM MAILING LIST". When you click that LINK ON BOTTOM OF MESSAGE, it ONLY alerts the computer (in South America - in my cause) that this is a VALID EMAIL ADDRESS and the Spam Messages from that site will continue coming, {NO MATTER HOW HARD TO TRY TO BLOCK THEM}.
Now (June 2020). I have not seen anymore Spam from that site in South America, cause I NEVER CLICKED the LINK ON BOTTOM OF SPAM MESSAGE. I just blocked them everyday they arrived in my Spam Mail folder.
As i still get Spam Messages a lot, I prefer just to block them; THEN go into my DELETED ITEMS / EMPTY FOLDER then in same Deleted Items folder, I select REMOVE ITEMS DELETED FROM THIS FOLDER and remove all the Spam Messages FROM MY HOTMAIL ACCOUNT. -

Spam emails come in from various Top Level Domains, most of which are garbage to the majority of users. These phishing emails will come in from domain@example.eu or domain@example.io or domain@example.xyz. Now I know most users would agree that if it comes from any TLD they are not expecting, they should be able just to block all emails using the TLD, examples below:
BLOCK ALL EMAILS FROM THE FOLLOWING TLD:
.xyz
.eu
.info
.ru
.ir
.su
.club
.us
.ku
.nl
.de
.caI have hundreds of "Blocked Senders" that could easily be filtered out with a few TLD blocks of incoming emails. Please, if you care about your user base, implement this simple feature.

I am tired of getting spam email from the ".space" domain. I want to block all mail coming from that domain. The system does not let me do it at the junk email settings, "because I haven't formatted it correctly". Please find a way to do this.

Allow top level domain blocking. For example ".space". I have received roughly 200 spam emails from ".space" domain addresses in the past week. None of them had repeated full domains.

How to completely BLOCK ALL E-Mails from a specific domain is A MUST - no matter what the preface is. IE. ALL E-mails from @altearwax.com ... Their preface changes each & every E-Mail every time & there are multiple E-mails every day from this domain... PLEASE give us all the option of doing this. How about finding WHERE the domain is located & shutting down the server, whether it's in China or Russia or Nigeria...

Everything ive been reading on this problem seems to point to one thing , google know about the problem but dont want to fix it , seems some so called independent advisers say close down your hotmail and open up a gmail account as they have better spam blockers which makes me wonder if its a tactic google is trying to get more hotmail users to go to gmail then they could spy on you more .

Please fix this! I was recently able to check a box on the popup confirming that I would like to block the entire domain and not a specific email address. The emails then never even ended up in my junk or deleted folder. This feature recently vanished and now I have to wade through all of this junk mail in my junk folder again.

Like many people, I cannot get rid of appspot.com emails, is there any way this domain can be taken down?

I got a simplest solution !!!!
Dude,
Very Very Simple. I also got emails bombarded into my Junk with appspot.com.
After so much frustration I got a very simple idea.
Step #1: "WHITELIST" the appspot.com in JUNK Email settings so that the traffic will be routed to inbox.
Step #2: Write a rule in the inbox to delete these emails automatically as they arrive.
That's it. It solved my problem.
Cheers,
Vijay. -

The spam email problem is getting worse each week. I had to setup my email to send all my new emails to spam instead of my Inbox. I pay for Office and Outlook so I don't understand why nothing is being done about the spam and bypassing the filters.

Microsoft....you are useless unless you can help us block these GOOGLE spammers like appspot.com, etc. Get at it. You are suppose to be smart and Google is making you look like chumps at our expense.

Find a way to block whole domains like there was before this ****** upgrade. I get over 600 pieces of junk and phishing emails per month from the domain .xyz with no way to block the domain. This was a feature in settings for Junk Mail.

Outlook and hotmail should have the ability to block top-level domains with wild card capabilities (i.e., *.xyz) in the blocked senders list or junk folder configuration. Having a rule is not the request - I don't want to see the blocked message in my junk folder; I want it processed before IT HITS MY INBOX.

Try creating a Rule. Rules is found in mail settings. There - create a rule that says "If sender's address contains these words 'appspot.com', delete the message." - Or create a simmilar rule for any spam domain you get. Like appspot.com mails often have a email like "randomgibberish@random.appspot.com". And then they change the random parts. With that rule you just made - it does not matter what they change in the mail, as long as it has appspot.com in it.
If you're worried about your rule deleting legit mails - you can choose to send those emails into their own folder etc. Just have a quick look at the options available.
Do the same with any of the spam domains that you want. It should help lessen the spam. There will be new domains added eventually so this is not the end all be all solution. So if they move away from appspot.com, you will need to add the new one when it shows up.
Hope this helps o/

It’s a good idea to have the ability to filter out the junk and quite possibly eliminate several junk mail culprits with just one click. It’s also informative and helpful to see all of what’s coming in and from where.

I’m now hitting more than a hundred spam emails per day. This only began recently and there is no way to stop it/block it. The emails are from @vertical-aff.com domain with all different names and characters. I’ve marked 50 or so as phishing but they continue to come. We need to be able to block entire domains.
