Windows 10: Spam email from MS Community

I recently posted a question in the MS community. I received some answers and solved the issue, closing my question.

A few hours later I received another email from the MS community including the logo that was a spam/fake/malware/impersonating answer saying something like "sexy girls", obviously nothing to do with my original question.


How do I solve this issue? Should I report pishing?
Should I call MS support?


Thanks.

Windows Live Mail 2012 refuses to send emails, claims they're spam


My wife uses Windows Live Mail 2012 and says it refuses to send emails, claiming they're spam. This is even replying to someone who is in her contacts list. I have run several different virus checks and nothing comes up. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. TIA

 

Lots Of Daily Spam Emails


I also use Hotmail and have been inundated with Spam emails since day 1.
Last year I joined Windows 10 Insider and created a Microsoft account using Hotmail to do so.
Along the way I was notified that my original Hotmail account would be updated as part of their process and that did happen.
This Aug I had 200 Spam emails in my Hotmail account, 0 between 2 Yahoo email accounts.
This Sep I had “only” 71 Spam emails in my Hotmail account, 0 between both Yahoo email accounts.
Between last year and this Aug, I have no idea how many Spam emails were being received in Hotmail; all I recall is frustratingly emptying the Junk Email folder.
I never responded to any of them and just about every topic that can be included in Spam emails were brought up. Eventually I found out it’s supposed to be possible to block them in my Manage My Microsoft Account where I can View My Inbox; it didn’t help.
I asked for help in the Microsoft Community; they wanted to be helpful but were not successful in providing a resolution.
Unfortunately even though I wanted to participate in the Windows 10 Insider Program I didn’t. I paid attention to it and it has done me very well but I did not want to create a mailing list in my Microsoft account.
I don’t expect a resolution to the Spam emails but wanted to share my story.
