I have the same problem with this email address junk. Tried every to block this. Tried outlook support, no solutions. Apparently this ahold has better knowledge than Microsoft. I will continue to delete this junk mail. Hopefully Microsoft will hire someone smarter than this geek.

The Outlook rule didn't work for you?
You might want to try a freeware app called MailWasher. It allows you set up rules pretty easily. It honors things like domain blacklisting that seem to be hit or miss for Outlook. There are also e-mail filters to automatically delete certain phrases found in spam such as Orangetheory, canvas prints, Tommy Chong, LeafFilter Partner, etc.. They are all automatically deleted now. It's a pretty good tool.

- Dave EvansJan 09, 2024Brass ContributorNo, the thing I posted above works perfect. When I get bulk spam from a domain like geeksquad.com. Normally the info, the actual address is different. So, anyone emailing from geeksquad.com is automatically deleted.
- MyChargerIsFastJan 09, 2024Copper ContributorI posted the Outlook rule header fix on 11/30/22 in this thread. lol.
I have since used MailWasher in conjunction with Outlook rule headers because it's easier to view the header contents without copying/pasting them to Notepad. Outlook gives a very small window to view the entire header.
