Junk-Mail eMail Options
Hi Bob,
The "Sender" field in the header is indeed the actual sender which should be added to your Blocked Senders list. The "From" field is ignored when there is a "Sender" field.
The "Reply-To" field is ignored when it comes to Safe/Blocked lists.
I find it odd that they still come through unless it has been sent to and address that is on the To or Cc line that is also on your Safe list.
Anyway, a workaround would be to create a rule that looks for specific words in the message header, you can add the addresses or domains to that rule instead.
Another way to go would be to add those addresses to the Blocked list of your IMAP account via webmail. The additional benefit here is that the message would already be filtered before it arrives in Outlook.

Perhaps this will be helpful - Aug 23, 2021This is not going to help you when Microsoft isn't the one hosting your email; The offline Junk Email Filters of Outlook aren't being updated anymore and are only there for legacy purposes. They may still catch some spam based on some old definitions though.
Again, login to the webmail of your email provider and check whether you can manage Safe/Block lists there. Also check whether you have Junk/Spam Mail filtering enabled there. - bobfBobfAug 23, 2021Copper ContributorHi Andrzaj1 - Thanks will do.

Please report this as a phishing attempt!
Really many such reports will get the sender blocked by Microsoft
because you can determine the IP and domain and other server traces that
of the fraudulent sender - it doesn't matter that the addresses are different 🙂 - bobfBobfAug 22, 2021Copper Contributor
Hi Deleted
No. I get dozens a email spam per day, all different email address. The common factor is that they sent "on-behalf-of", Both from and "on-behalf-of" are different in all emails.

bobfBobf Hi!
If you have installed a free service or program, or you accidentally agreed to messages from the sender, the rules will rather be ineffective.
it is better to verify unnecessary free software and disable notifications related to it 🙂
