asked on Block automatic displaying images in outlook
For the past two days, I have received email with a spoofed domain.com(my domain) address (from me to me) that have embedded images of inappropriate content. Normally, Outlook blocks images, but in this case, the image automatically displays. Perhaps the spammers have found a new loophole.
Is it possible to prevent Outbind in Outlook from automatically displaying these images?

Did you put the domain on your blocked list?

Yes we did that now.But the thing is that we don't want any image to be displayed automatically.
Under Tools --Options--Security Tab---Download Pictures button
it's interesting because it shouldn't be showing images by default
Greetings amaheshwari !
E-mail messages from or to e-mail addresses or domain names on the Safe Senders and Safe Recipients Lists are treated as exceptions and the blocked content will be downloaded. Make sure your domain is not listed in those two lists.
If no joy, delete the content of your Outlook cache.

If no joy, create a new Outlook profile.

Oh, they are as attachments, not as HTML emails with images in them. ...is that correct?
you could just block email messages from yourself.
