Default Junk Mail Filter does not work

May I step in and ask an ancillary question? Thank-you!

If I block all e-mails from a domain using " that works
fine, EXCEPT when the e-mail address looks like "Fred Bloggs
]" and then it seems to get passed over and left
in the Inbox.

Should I be blocking something else?

TIA,

JohnK

Jim,

thanks for the additional information. I guess we can always assume these
email messages are getting spoofed and they really aren't coming from the
senders you think they are coming from.

If we don't assume they are getting spoofed, you can always try to block the
entire domain. With Outlook 2007, you can block email addresses 3 different
ways:

- To block a single address in the domain, enter the specific address
). This is the method you are currently using.

- To block all address from the parent domain, enter the blocked "address"
in Outlook using the form ". This will block email from
, , etc. However, it will not block email
from
.

- To block email from anyone at contoso.com (parent and child domains),
enter the blocked "address" in Outlook using the form "contoso.com". Note
the absence of the @ symbol. This will block email from
,
, AND
, etc.

So, you can try modifying your blocked list to see if that improves the
situation.

By the way, are any entries on your blocked list working as expected?
