2 Ways to Block Foreign Junk Emails in Outlook

Are you vexed at receiving foreign junk emails, despite having added the addresses to blocked senders list? Let’s learn how to block them in Outlook.

When it comes to junk emails, we are inclined to delete them immediately. In addition, we can also prevent junk emails from the same addresses or domain names, by adding them to our blocked senders list. However, sometimes to foreign junk emails, although we have selected to block them, they still come to our mailbox as they like.

Confronted with annoying foreign spam in Outlook, we can utilize junk email filter as well as create a new rule to block them.

Utilize Junk Email Filter

1. In “Home” page, click “Junk”. Locate and click on “Junk Email Options” in the drop-down list.
2. In the popup window of “Junk Email Options”, click “International” Tab.
3. Then click “Blocked Top-Level Domain List” button.
4. A list of countries/regions will appear. Tick the countries/regions, whose emails you want to prevent.
5. Finally click a series of “OK” to save the settings.

This method is much easier than the following one. But we should notice that if the spam has no obvious signs of foreign countries, the filter may not be able to prevent it. Therefore, in case of this situation, along with junk emails filter, we can create a new rule for foreign spam as well.

1. Locate the “Rule” button in “Move” section of “Home” ribbon. Select it and click “Manage Rules and Alerts” in the drop-down list.
2. Click “Add Rules” button in “Rules and Alerts” window.
3. Select “Apply rule on messages I receive” and click “Next>”.
4. Tick the option of “With specific words in subject or body”.
5. Click on “specific words” in blue and add the specific characters about any signs of foreign spam in “Search Text”. Then click “Next>”.
6. Select “delete it” and click “Next”
