Blocking email domains

Anonymous

This year I've been getting a bunch of these @*.store domains that's just flooding my email. Is there a way to block these domains that ends with *.store? Microsoft Outlook doesn't allow blocking these domains with .store using a * wildcard

___@___.___

___@___.___

___@___.___

Please note I'm not looking to block each of these domains one by one as the *wildcard for the store is so random. So I want a way to block any domains that's @*.store

    Hi, Sorry about these unnecessary emails coming into your account and I can understand your need to block them from filling up your Inbox because they can take a lot of your useful time and add undue work. I am a Microsoft products customer as well and will try to help you. There is a way to block a domain and these messages then get forwarded to the Junk Folder. Here are the steps to do that: - Right-click the email message that was sent from a domain that you want to block, point to Junk E-mail, and then select Junk E-mail Options. - Select the Blocked Senders tab. - Select Add. - Type the domain that you want to block, such as @example.com. - Select OK. - Select OK to close the Junk E-mail Options dialog box.

    Yeah that's nothing to do with what I asked. I know how blocking domains works.

    I stated the issue I'm having are these domains ending with .store and not the usual .com

    If you noticed my post I stated they use randomized domains such as the following again:

    @nachoynegra.store

    @maispormenos.store

    @MetaLockVenezuela.store

    I know I can block these one by one, but these are just randomized generated domains, so I need a way to block all emails ending with .store domain and not going in there to block one at a time, because there's never a repeat of these randomized domains.

    I would typically block @example.com, because they are all coming from the same domain, but they are bypassing the Microsoft email filter using .store domain. I repeat it's NOT @store.com it's @******.store and the ***** = randomized generated names.

    Hi,

    I am sorry but because the email addresses were blocked, I couldn't make out that it was the domain itself that was changing randomly.

    I remember facing this issue a long time ago and unfortunately I couldn't find a fix.

    Please check and see if you have a way to put in a rule that can move these emails to a specific folder.

    Also, please check out this link: https://answers.microsoft.com/thread/7a9526d9-7948-40f6-91f3-f3447d9a82be

    There are also many other knowledgeable user on this forum and may be there is someone who can offer further insight into this issue.

    Kind regards, Amit
