Dozens of phony Microsoft e-mails:how to stop them?

Blocking a sender and writing a rule to delete them is
two entirely different items. If you go to your Outlook,
Tools, Message Rules, and then Create a Rule, you can
make your Outlook look for certain words in the subject,
and they will automatically be deleted. All you will
have to do is empty your deleted items folder. This
action is not the same as blocking the sender. It would
take an eternity to block all senders - they're all
different.
