The point is that there is nothing to do in outlook - adding names to the
blocked list is useless and the filter is updated monthly - there is nothing
a user needs to do. 10 to 1 yahoo doesn't do anything with the junk you
report anyway, so it's a waste of your time.

Microsoft did it this way because most users just want it to work, they
don't want to message around training filters and adding words to it - it's
a big productivity loss to have users updating filters.

If you want to update a filter get spambayes or similar.

Keep the outlook junk filter updated and set on high. Delete anything
that
gets missed.

I have XP Pro SP3 and Outlook 2003.

If I see a new message in my inbox and know it is SPAM or want to add
the sender to my blocked senders list, I have to right click the
message, scroll down to junk email, choose add to blocked senders....
It works fine, but too many steps.

I would like to just have the message highlighted and the simply click
a toolbar button or something to mark it as SPAM and add it to the
blocked senders.

My built in filtering and all works fine, I am just trying to reduce
this operation down to one click. Yahoo! mail has the Spam button
that allows this.

I am not too opposed to some safe third party add on if there are
suggestions, but thought there might be something built in Outlook I
am missing.

Thanks!

I understand that and Outlook does a pretty good job already, I know
how to maintain that list, etc., but that is not my question...

Yahoo! also does a fair job of catching stuff on the way in, but they
have a single click option that does everything I have to do manunally
in Outlook.

It is inefficient.
