PLEASE add rules for junk mail. I often get mail in my junk mail that is actually useful, so I look in there often. Lately, I've been getting SO MANY phishing emails from Save Yourself trying to "blackmail" me into sending them bitcoin, and it automatically goes to my junk folder, but I want anything with the words "Save Yourself" to be deleted so I don't have to look at it. Their emails contain an old password of mine, and their emails are all different, so even if I block one, I'll get another email from a different address in about an hour. I'm so sick of it. It is ridiculous that rules cannot be applied to your junk folder.

1. The Blocked Senders list puts email from Blocked Senders into my Junk Mail folder, rather than into my Deleted Files folder, due to the differing and changing subdomains that the spammers use.

2. Outlook does not allow wildcard (*) to block all subdomains from each email domain.

3. The filter options to block all subdomains from each domain don't work.

4. How do I block all email with address in the PATTERN of a@a.b.c? Notice that a@a.b.c is a PATTERN, not an email address. An example of a particular spammer's address is holdon@holdon.luxuryzero.com which is in the PATTERN of a@a.b.c (format).

Please fix the aforementioned problems.

This seems like it should be a simple fix. There is clearly a massive issue with the amount of spam that is sent and the amount of spam that gets to recipients. While it is probably useless to try to block sender accounts because they will simply change a few characters and keep sending away, for hotmail to not bother having the option to block multiple spam emails at once seems to be willful ignorance to the problem, or laziness as to not implement a solution. If there are legitimate reasons to as to why the issues is still not resolved, it would be a responsible and respectful move on hotmail's part to inform users as to why they continue to not deal with the problem.

Junkmail filtering on outlook is ineffective to say the least.

Junkmail works in a few ways.
- Robots scan the internet for email addresses.
- Business collect your email for legitimate reasons (like receipts or alerts) but then continue to send unsolicited mail
- by a robot flooding random emails with a readably sounding senders name, a randomised or misleading email address, misleading body content (usually duplicated from an existing reputable website, and requiring the user to interact by clicking a hyperlink or download an executable.

Does this look familiar:
from LinkedIn - Confirm security breach. <linkedin23508xtPRO@LinkedInSecurityTeamTotallyRealfe080x.com.org.it>. BODY: Your account has been breached and needs security update or you will get fined CLICK HERE TO LOGIN.

Rather than looking at outlook as millions of individuals who have to manually block and manage things constantly on their end, act as one giant Junkmail Bodyguard for your users.

This could greatly be improved with a few simple automated steps. NONE of this should affect legitimate email contact.

1:Live domain confirmation:
- Upon having an email passed through Outlook, the senders address domain is run through the Domain name registry. If it is sent from a domain that is not registered, the email is automatically blocked and blacklisted. Outlook will no longer allow that domain to pass to any user.

2: Universal Professional whitelist
- Users can make their own whitelist, but it should be supplemented by a professional whitelist of established reputable companies. This will reduce the load on "Live domain confirmation", and allow legitimate businesses that don't make it through LDC to get their mail through. This pro whitelist should be shared between free email companies to prevent corruption or junkmail companies paying for access.

3. ID check
- Does the "reply to" address match the "sent from" address? A common trick is to mislead where the email was sent from, and get the user to hit reply, which opens a completely different address. Block non matching addresses. Will this effect legitimate email senders? Not if they are on the LDC and UPW. Businesses can easily correct their sending habits to get this mail through, but junkmail/scammers won't be able to adjust so easily.

4: Floodgate
- Business like to collect your email "for your convenience", but what they are really doing is farming legitimate emails to send their marketing junkmail.They also then sell your address on to other marketing companies. The FIRST email from a new legitimate sender opens the floodgate for constant junkmail until you "opt out", which often does not work. That needs to be reversed. When you gut the FIRST email from a new sender (probably a receipt), outlook will ask if you would like to receive more email from this sender.

5 Onetime
- allow users to give a generic outlook email to somebody (say Onetime@outlook.com). That email will self destruct in 24 hours. This is perfect for getting receipts/quotes/that one party invite/that tinder date, that you may not want to know your real address. But have it coded. Ontime1234@outlook.com means you go to the onetime page on outlook.com and enter a code. This one would be 1234. Boom, 24 hours to get that mail out. Onetime1800555210@outlook.com will ask for the code1800555210. After the day is done that space is cleared.

6. Struckout
- Allow users to vote/flag abuse from an email address, and if a domain gets too many complaints it is added to a blacklist. Black listed companies will have to request access to the whitelist again and change their issues.

7 Mr Smith
- are you getting multiple emails from a user, but their email is different each time? Well then run a check for the senders NAME matching multiple addresses and domains. (Amazon, paypal, linked in all get this scam). Block it. Legit businesses can request access to the whitelist.

I've named this junkmail protection suite "<Body>Guard" by Outlook.com.

I am making tonnes of rules to try to cut down on the amount of spam I am getting. I have dozens of rules, saying for certain words to be deleted, but they are still ending up in my Junk Email. The same words being used over and over in the rules, but they are still going through. So your rules are not working what so ever.
I was told that the rules do NOT apply to emails that are you already direct to the spam folder, that your "spam" rules bypass any rules we make ourselves. That's rather annoying. Especially since your rules really don't stop these at all. I'm getting the exact same spam every day for weeks now.
