Overwhelmed with Spam in the last three days!
Wow, what is going on? In the last three days, I have gotten over 70 spam emails, some purporting to come from me! Bad spelling, phony gift cards, **bleep** enhancement, sexual positions, you name ...

For all I know they do that, but I can tell you that 90% of the spam you get comes from only a handful of server domains.
All the spam is coming from <random>@<random>.nelottery.com
Since the parameter after the "@" appears to be randomly generated, I don't know how to shut it out. Outlook, indeed, is sweeping all of these to the Junk Folder, but boy, I would love to be able to get to Hughes so that THEIR master spam blocker would stop these in their tracks.
And, it is totally possible that nothing can do this. I am SOOOOO darned careful online, so I get really pissed when someone gets my email address and either spams me or spoofs me.
I'll have to see if I can find the IP addresses - but I don't know how to filter those, unfortunately.
Hello! A bit late but just wanted to give everyone the heads up that we're locking this thread. If you have concerns that need to be addressed please create a new post for yourself and explain in detail what the issue is so we can better assist you.
Thank you,

*.nelottery.com? Sounds like one I haven't seen yet.
Chances are that someone that does have your email address got their address book lifted. The only way to ensure that doesn't happen is not to use email at all, and that kind of defeats the purpose of having it.
Only thing you can realistically do to stop it, and have some control over it, is the kind of system I'm currently setting up (why I'm doing it actually). This is after tons of research on the subject.
Only posting this in the hopes it helps get Hughes attention. There are two of us - we have Outlook and are Hughes satellite users (obviously). It is fairly recent but all of the spam comes in base 64 gibberish, with a "nelottery.com" type address. Most I block sender and delete. Did get one today that I could only delete because the address was disguised to prevent blocking.

Outlook as in Outlook for your email provider? The OPs issue is concerning Hughes' own email.
Outlook as in we have Hughes.net email addresses and we both happen to use Outlook as our email clients.
i just wonder why HughesNet's spam catcher isn't killing these emails from nelottery.com
Outlook's email client puts them in the spam folder, but I want HughesNet to kill them first!
And I wonder if the Nebraska Lottery (nelottery.com) knows it is being spoofed!

Hughesnet has a spam blocker but if the companies that are sending out the spam has paid Hughesnet to allow thier spam to go through the blocker does no good as it has been set to allow that domain to come through and go to the customers.
