Message filtering: stopping *@outlook.com - but how?

Over the past weeks, I have been receiving in both my Inbox and Spam eMails with an 'outlook.com' domain address. This is becoming a matter with a high nuisance value. Is there a means whereby one can block ALL such eMails, for instance, with the format *@outlook.com? I can send screen-shots, if need be. Thank you. George Broom

Zenos, that was bang on. Thank you very much. What a relief.

As I have no post from this specific domain, I feel that this is the most effective method of suppressing these nuisances.

Create a message filter. Go to Tools|Message Filters.

Set it up with: From/Ends with/outlook.com

And you're absolutely sure that no-one with an outlook.com address will ever need to contact you?

You do realize it is the second largest mail provider on the planet. Right? Used to be called hotmail.com, but they are phasing that out of existence.
