I read ALL my mail, so if I get a spam message my spam folder will go to the top and show (x) unread emails.
For some reason, almost all my Microsoft/Azure/DevOps newsletters are spam so I whitelisted the Microsoft domain.
Other than that it rarely happens though.
Four to five a week sounds like a lot, are they from the same person/company?
If so, consider whitelisting them.

All I can say is don't bother setting up rules if you're using Windows 10's built-in email client. I don't know how Microsoft can claim it works at all.
|

I have the same experience. Windows 10 Outlook NEVER properly handles spam. It allows dumb stuff through and filters out emails from people's email addresses that I've authorized/white listed. Fairly worthless spam filtering!

I would be curious what the domain was for your spam you are talking about.
I've gotten to the point where I can recognize a "NameCheap.com" spam without even doing a Whois on it.
Did it come from a .info, .xyz, .pw domain for example?
You need to 100% block ALL of those - permanently. They are 100% spam.

Haven't checked, I just had one from .us.
I don't doubt that it is spam, even without looking at the domain.
It gets in my spam folder, but I really just don't want it at all.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh oh oh oh!!!!
Please do a whois lookup on that .us domain. Or just give me the full domain name I will do it.
PLEASE
I want to hear.

V683V6PKG.us, no data / failed to get data.
This is the first time I looked at the domain name.
Tomorrow I'll probably get it again, but with another generated code.

Thanks for posting that.
I'll bet if you look deeper at the headers you will find the TLD that points to Namecheap.com as the registrar.
I've been fighting this war with them for 10 years now.
I will bet my left nut it's Namecheap.

I already deleted the email.
I'll keep an eye on it when I get new ones.

Outlook client lets you view the email source and the Internet headers so you can see where the email actually came from (see sample below). I do not use Gmail I do not know if it has the same capability.

Oh the irony - this was caught by the spam filter 
|
|
|
|

Yeah, every time I reply to a message it gets flagged as spam at least for a period of time.

You are absolutely wrong - fortunately (for both of us?) I never have or will need to send you email.
I have used, for over a decade, a .info domain as one of my personal domains.
From this and another of your emails in the thread, I can assure you that you've already lost the war as they keep you busy trying to keep on top of them. How much are you paid for your time?
Or, how much broad-spectrum blocking, the good with the bad, are you willing to accept? Again, they win! You will not receive email that wasn't spam because you blocked it.
Or even more maintenance to unblock those blocked by your bulk practices.

I have an email for registering things.
I've found that the biggest place that SPAM comes from is a DOMAIN registration.
Do you have a web domain registered somewhere? Check and see if the admin email address is the same as the one you are getting the spam at.

No, mine are registered via google domains. Google is inexpensive and great and easy to use.
Also, I moved away from GoDaddy a few years ago now. It's a trash-hole.

I moved domains, websites, everything from that arrogant SOB at GoDaddy. Since I wanted the (free) email forwards (and the charitable group I manage a website for, free, is not exactly wealthy) I got the best deals at NameCheap.com .
Unlike GoDaddy, you do need a brain to get by. On the other hand, they don't low-ball you in and then gouge you on renewals. Actually, they have some pretty consistent monthly specials to cut things down a bit more - but even without them they're (another) good deal.

Yes I do, multiple.
That could very well be the source, but that information is public I think (which I think is criminal and the complete opposite of GDPR).
I should look into that.
It's like when I registered my company at the CoC and it turned out that they do not only display my data in public, but also sell it.
I've been getting daily to weekly phone calls about gas and electricity since then and it's mandatory by law 
Luckily the CoC is not allowed to do that anymore, but all these companies still have my number, got five phone calls this week alone

There was a point where one of my registered domains had my _main_ email address and I was getting 5 spam email a day. Then I changed the domain registration to my _dumping-ground-email-address_ and the spam started going to the dumping ground the next day. Instantly cleaned up the problem on my _main_ email.

If you send me your credit card number, expiration date and CVC code, I'll make sure they stop right away... I promise!

Thanks, please reply to imnotanidjit@gmail.com and I'll give you the requested information.
You may need the login to my email as well so you can look at the spam messages.
Do you think you need my bank credentials as well, just in case?
You can also send me any applications that I can run to clean my computer

Is it a gmail address? My gmail does a really good job of blocking spams.
But no, I don't know that there is much you can do.

Yes, it's GMail.
It probably blocks a lot more than I'm getting, but for some reason a couple slip by the filter almost daily since the last one or two months.
