Stop Spam from Adding Calendar Invite

Idea shared by kevind - 6/4/2026 at 8:24 AM

Under Consideration

Spammers are always using new tricks. The new trend is to send calendar invites that automatically get added to your calendar and flag the notification bell in upper-right.

Anyone have suggestion in how to stop this? Can a user turn off calendar invites so they don't automatically add an event? Seems like many of these come from Microsoft. See example below:

Porn spam message with calendar invite:

From: Kimberly 😉Turner <noisbbna7958@hotmail.com>

To: dmarywilliams75q89 <dmarywilliams75q89@groups.outlook.com>

Subject: 😘 I am feeling wet on me🥒

Attendees: dmarywilliams75q89 (Organizer)

When: 6/4/26 11:51 PM to 6/5/26 12:21 AM

Reminder: 15 minutes

Hey Kevin,

Thanks for sharing this with us. I just went ahead and created a feature request to add a setting to disable auto creating calendar events for invitations. Currently the only thing you can really do is block them.

Kind Regards,

Thanks, Zach, for adding this as a feature request!

Question: do spam messages automatically create a calendar invite? If they don't, we could score these messages higher so they go to Junk Email and don't create a calendar event.

Thanks,
Kevin
