Junk filter

[ICY]

I am receiving an increasing number of junk emails - that are sent from
addresses that do not have what Outlook considers a 'proper' email address
name. E.g. the domain name is missing. The junk filter can't stop these
beacuse the filter requires a 'proper' email address.
Perhaps the filter should include an option - where emails from improper and
incomplete addresses (domain name missing etc) can be filtered out?

Invalid addresses should be caught already. If your address is in the To:
field make sure you are not set as a safe recipient yourself.

Hi
Thank you
I checked safe recipients - I don't have any listed.
And I also set the protection level to 'high', it was on low. But I just
received another junk email with no 'from' address at all.
Is there anything else that needs to be activated?

On which account do you receive the Junk Mail item?
If on the Exchange account make sure you have Cached Exchange Mode enabled.
