Default Block Senders List

No need to visit your forum to get help - she can just stay here and we'll
tell her how to do it or why it’s a bad idea:

Since spammers keep changing the from address, its pointless to add most
addresses to blocked senders lists. The blocked and safe lists only hold a
finite number of addresses anyway, so its better to et junk filtering on
high and mark addresses as safe.

I found this answer on puzzlenyc.org:

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like you can select a group of messages
that
are already in your Junk mail folder and add them to your blocked sender
list.

However, you could eliminate most, if not all, spam by adjusting the Junk
Mail filter options. Click Tools Options. Make sure that you are on the
PREFERENCES tab. Click the JUNK EMAIL button.

The first tab lets you set the general filtering level. You may want to
adjust the level and make it higher. Personally, I use the highest level
meaning that I only want to see mail from people in my "Safe Senders"
list.
Yes, it does mean that sometimes, mail that I really do want gets placed
in
the junk mail folder. But, if that happens, I then add those names to my
safe
sender list. At least at the highest level, all the spam gets put in the
junk
mail, and I have far less to sift through.

You may want to look at puzzlenyc.org under the "technology" discussion
groups section. There are a lot of answers relating to Outlook as well as
other MS Office packages. Many of the answers contain useful links to free
on-line tutorials that Microsoft offers. There are a few good ones
directly
related to Spam filtering in Outlook.
