Started to receive spam in my inbox
Have been using hotmail since 1997. A few years ago I had to tick the. Safe senders thing to stop junk going to my inbox.
this worked for years. Now all of a sudden I have been getting junk email in my inbox. The safe senders is ticked in my settings. Have been blocking them but it doesn’t work. I didn’t change any settings.
also have rules banning key words and they still get through.
any thoughts?

- I had the same issue and created three simple rules to handle the bulk of the spam. See the following page for a description https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/how-do-i-stop-thousands-of-spam-emails-from-going/144816b1-0923-4556-b42d-bfa1e8062384?page=2
Please check the junk mail folder twice a week to detect false positives and create rules to avoid them in the future.
