Thanks for the replies. The Message Rule sounds like it would be too much
of a pain to maintain. I just want to find a program that integrates into
OE that just does approved and blocked senders only. No SPAM detection
using filters or anything just approved and blocked senders is all. Kind of
like Outlook 2003.

Well, there is a program which sort of does what you want, MailWasher
[1].

As the name implies, MailWasher 'washes'/cleans your mail *before* you
download it, and you only download 'washed'/clean mail to your e-mail
client, i.e. in this case OE.

The idea is that you maintain your blocked or/and approved senders
list in MailWasher *instead of* in OE, i.e. no *extra* maintenance, only
*different* maintenance.

You can set several degrees of thoroughness in MailWasher, ranging
from 'do nothing' to 'kill all spam and stamp it with both feet'.

Please try it, I think you'll like it. More info on the website.
