Getting hundreds of account verification code emails

For the past couple of months I've been getting hundreds of the following emails from Microsoft - usually in batches of like 20. I've changed my password several times but I want to know if there's a way to stop it. It looks like someone has put their backup email account as mine. Any ideas?

EDIT: Outlook has marked the sender as legitimately being Microsoft, so it doesn't look like a phishing scam.
