funny, I was just on the line with our ISP (freaking cox.net) about a

A WHOIS lookup indicates that onmicrosoft.com is owned by Microsoft. Of
course, it is entirely possible that a professional spammer is simply
using that domain name in his spew.
What is the nature of these emails that you are classifying as spam?
pondering... not really sure y'all want me forwarding the headers
here...
No, not headers. By the "nature" I meant general content.
same sorts of things from back in the olden days, viagra, cialis,
insurance, rate notices, gift cards for you, $100 amaz0n rwards, this 1
thing,
lots of variation of spam and phishing offers all of which contain
onmicrosoft.com within the from, but not the reply to:
You could get the sending IP addresses from the headers and look up where
they are being sent from.
originating IPs? like this [2a02:6ea0:c201:0:9320:90fd:9bec:ab67]
originator.org ? etyszrt4.onmicrosoft.com is in many of them
but I can with some direction about what to obscure or delete...
Probably not worth the time. I don't have time to look them up for you.
I'd say simply that a spammer found your address, and he uses the
Microsoft address as his From:.
Train the filter.
I have had years of training the filter under my belt... this one is
eluding the filters... @cox.net techs were of no help... cox's filters
do not work no matter how many times i mark the whole @onmicrosoft
domain as spam...
just sorta a personal mission to defeat this one i guess...
