NOt necessary at all.

1. Adding senders to the blocked list is useless as they change sender
names/domains at random.
2. Right click on the Junk Mail folder and select empty. Bypasses the
deleted items.

For my personal preference, a 3rd party tool installed along side of
Outlook's junk mail filters works very well - SpamBayes, available from
Sourceforge.

After furious head scratching, Chuck asked:

| I like the concept of the outlook junk mail function but it seems to
| combersome. What I want is to delete the email completely out of my
| system and block the sender from sending me anything else. I would
| like to just mark it junk, click block sender. and let that be the
| end of it. But instead I must go to the junk file and delete it again
| and then to the deleted file and delete it a third time. Why are
| these last two steps necessary?
| Thanks
| Chuck
