Everyday we receive numerous of unwanted mails in our Outlook inbox. These mails can disturb you while you are busy doing some important piece of work. Personally, I myself have the habit of checking outlook mails on a regular basis and it sometimes becomes irritating getting such unwelcomed mails in my outlook inbox section.
Sometimes we receive such mails from a specific domain.
For example:
- self@exmple.com
- myself@exmple.com
- himself@exmple.com
