Junk Email & Blocked Senders List
If I drag email to the Junk Email folder, doesn't that automatically add the
sender to the Blocked Senders List? Or do I really have to right click every single spammer and choose "Add to Blocked Senders List?" Using Outlook 2003. Thanks. |

Or do I really have to right click every single spammer and choose "Add to Blocked Senders List?" Using Outlook 2003. Adding spammer addresses to the Blocked Sender list is fairly pointless (unless the domain stays fairly constant and then can add the entire domain) because most spammers do not reuse addresses. Better to use a rule if you can find common criteria in the messages, like something in the headers or subject. -- Brian Tillman |

Junk Email & Blocked Senders List
Hmmm, thanks for the info.
It seems to me that the Junk Email filter in Outlook isn't as good as it used to be, somehow. I suppose the spammers have figured out how to get around the filters. I think I have all the latest updates.

Aloha rju166,
You might consider Googling for SpamBayes -- it's a pretty capable, and free, anti-spam tool for Outlook. -Ben- Ben M.

All it could do in prior versions was color the subject and it had fixed spam strings that couldn't be updated. I suppose the spammers have figured out how to get around the filters. I think I have all the latest updates. Spammers will always find ways around filters. Until it becomes economically pointless there will always be spammers. -- Brian Tillman |
