Default blocked sender list

using the blocked senders list makes no sense - most spam is sent from a
different address every time making blocking addresses pointless. The safe
and blocked lists can hold a total of about 2000 addresses between them -
you could easily fill it up in a day or two by blocking addresses and
domains. It's better to set junk email to high and add addresses to the safe
list. The blocked list should have just a few addresses on it, many times
fewer than the safe lists.

if outlooks filters aren't meeting your needs, get a better filter - one of
the best is spambayes and it's free. Links to this and other programs are at

input *@*haapavesi*.*
