@mdk Would it be better to use Blocked email option under preferences, or the filter you set above?

They only allow 100 blocks in preferences.

@joman -- the spammer continually changes the FROM field, but, so far, has never changed the REPLY-TO field.

So, it is way better to filter on a non-changing value.

@joman -- Sent these examples to reportspam@shaw.ca

Two of your examples cite "puredigitalprods". So, you could add a filter for that string in the FROM field.

I have been in contact with "Enterprise.co.uk" (an international car rental/hire company). Either the password for their "contact" E-mail ID has been hacked, or the spammer spoofed that ID. Their response is just the standard "do not click any links in the E-mail; just delete it". Seemingly, they were not entertaining the possibility that their ID has been hacked.

@bkushner -- so obviously spam

What makes it "obvious" ? 

The spuriously-inserted apostrophe (') ?

The fact that the "body" of the E-mail does not contain any words -- only HTML code that links to a web-site containing an image that your brain processes & decodes as words?

The fact that the "Reply-To" tag always seems to contain "support@digital..." ?

Within your E-mail (or Shaw WebMail) you can create "filters" for the apostrophe, or for that string contained in the "Reply-To" field.

I have created at least 15 filters. If Shaw can’t filter out these obvious spam filters I am  done. I have to keep this email address though for a couple accounts unfortunately.

@mdk I created that filter, but now the spam seems to have stopped, but I know it works because I ran the filter on existing email.

@mdk I just realized that the Filters and Blocked emails that I setup in Shaw Webmail preferences only work when email is accessed directly via the Shaw Webmail website.  Maybe that is the way it works, but I was hoping that these Spam preferences for filters and blocks would apply to the email account even when accessed via the Mail app in Windows 10 or Outlook.
