    well if someone else is sending, then it is just like a regular mail, unless you know their emails you can mark as spam?

    possible there is a .Click Safe and blocked senders (inbox of your Hotmail account, select the Options) option in hotmail so you can use block and add the emails of the forwarders?

    Hello, there are at least 3 ways of doing this.  The first way would be by setting rules.  To do so, try the following 

    – open hotmail
    – click on sweep
    – click on manage rules
    – click on new
    – make up a new rule according to what you want it to do
    – click on save

    You could also try the following:

    – select a forwarded message
    – click on sweep
    – click on delete all from
    – follow instructions

    Or, you could mark them as junk:

    – select a forwarded message
    – click on junk

    Let me know if you need more specific help

Please wait...
