I keep getting unsolicited emails on my hotmail account from "@opensubscriber.online" but always with a different first word, e.g. today's one is Toblerone@opensubscriber.online. I keep blocking them but then another one arrives with a different first word.
Is there a way I can block all emails from this source, please?

Just set up a filter in your email program to automatically delete any emails in the format *@opensubscriber.online0

Try this.
o Login to your hotmail account
o Go to Settings -> Email-> Rules-> Add new rule
1 Give this rule a name e.g. opensubscriberblock
2 Add a condition
o Sender address includes
o @opensubscriber.online
3 Add an action
o Delete or Mark as Junk
o Click on Save

Thank you, HoofeHearted, I'll give it a try. Looks promising.0

unfortunately rules dont work on hotmail/outlook junk, you cannot block domains either anymore. It did used to work a few years back but Outlook changed and just puts it all in junk, whereas it really shouldnt even get through their surver.0

Seems to have been a backward step sadly.0

I was always told never to reply to this kind of email as it confirms to them that you are looking at their emails and they will then send you more.0

Like many of you this has been driving me nuts. It's great that MS is sending most of these emails to the Junk folder, but as others have pointed out you can't run rules against the Junk folder. I don't want them to go to Junk as it causes me to overlook other emails that mistakingly were flagged as junk. If MS isn't going to ban this domain then here is the way to handle them.
First - Get the Spam Domain to not be filtered as Junk.
>Settings
>View all Outlook Settings
>Junk Email
Under Safe senders and domains
Add opensubscriber.online
Click on Save
Finally Create a Rule that will delete any email from this domain so you never see them again.
Still in the View all Outlook Settings
>Rules
+Add New Rule
Name your rule whatever you want
Under Add a Condition select "Sender Address includes"
Enter opensubscriber.online
Add Action - "Delete" is probably your best choice or you can move it to a specific folder if you prefer.
It feels like a terrible way to address a spammer by first ensuring it isn't marked as Spam, but since MS isn't addressing it so be it.0
