They should kill entirety of Outlook.com. It's been years and they can't get the spam under control. Nor the absolutely garbage UI.
You mean the e-mail client that the vast majority of U.S. companies use daily to send and receive millions if not billions of emails? Yeah, I'm sure they'll get right on that.
I've been using it on and off since the 90's and it feels like it gets worse every year, the current iteration is barely usable.
I just got the email mentioned in the article (and that's the only blog source I found for it, including Microsoft.com). After the whole G Suite Free cancellation I thought about switching my domain email to Outlook for that benefit, but I decided against moving. Guess that was a good call.
Sounds like Outlook wouldn't have been a good choice with this feature getting killed, but O365 was a whole different kind of hassle. For my incredibly simple setup, it was amazing how complex Microsoft managed to make it. I have never had to read so much documentation in my life to do what were intuitive tasks in G Suite's interface. I ended up abandoning it for Cloudflare+Sendgrid which met my needs and was simpler to set up despite involving two different providers. Honestly I think configuring my own mail server from scratch would have been simpler than Microsoft made it.
All that to say, my impression is that Microsoft is not really interested in serving the power user or small team market and is comfortable with a feature set and interface intended for what would otherwise be an Exchange admin at a Fortune 500. Maybe a slight exaggeration, but I get it from a profit margin standpoint at the very least.

I’ve been using the custom email domain feature that comes with iCloud+ for some time now, and have had zero issues with it. I imagine many of us here already pay the measly 99¢ fee for additional storage, but I was unaware of that addition until recently. Awfully easy to do, even if you’re wary of DNS. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212514

What do you mean by that? Are you having spam in your inbox or do mean deliverability issues to *.outlook.com?

No I meant the free Outlook.com web based email and everything to do with that.

Outlook is terrible, regardless. I've been using it on and off since the 90's and it feels like it gets worse every year, the current iteration is barely usable.
Same goes with Outlook. See what they introduced recently: https://twitter.com/DenysVitali/status/1587752974062944256
Wtf?

Lack of catch all there seems to be a blocker for many including me

This is about using a custom domain, and it's not a free feature. It's only if you pay for Microsoft 365 Personal/Family, or any of the 365 business plans. (They're killing it for 365 Personal/Family plans) Spammers can still use a ...@outlook.com address as before, and if they made it to having a domain + paid Microsoft 365 subscription, Microsoft have a credit card to blacklist.
I get plenty of custom domain name spam that comes through outlook.com (I'm not even talking about M365/O365). Free or not, Outlook.com is abused for spam constantly.
