I'm sure there is a limit, but I don't know what it is.

Its in the registry, but I don't know that it is easier to edit the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Micro soft\Outlook
Express\5.0\Block Senders
Sometimes its more effective to filter by message rules rather than block
senders.

Thanks Steve but in the end I took the advice to just delete the folders
mentioned, luckily it never touched my exception rules so I now have a
clean killfile which I will be using more sparingly. I did note that I
had 9 different trojans my antivirus software hadn't caught or flagged to
my attention which I think may have also been part of the problem.
Now I have to look for something to replace Avast 5.
Can I ask something about exception rules? Is there a limit to how many
different words one exception rule can be asked to block on?
