What do you mean by expand your Blocked Message folder? Blocked Senders?
Expand how? Try message rules.

This is not a venue for free support from Microsoft. We users can do NOTHING regarding your e-mail account or your software setup. You will have to do that yourself. OE has a Junk folder. Did you create another folder called Blocked [Messages]? Or did SpamBully? If SpamBully is modifying your OE setup then you will have to ask them how to fix whatever is the problem. Since SpamBully relies only on Bayesian filtering, and since Bayesian filtering has to learn good versus bad e-mails based on your decisions, and depending on the level of e-mail traffic that it gets to inspect to update its database, it could be many days if not weeks before that Bayesian filter is effective. Microsoft has their monthly update to add a pre-defined database to its Bayes-like filter in Outlook 2003+. Does SpamBully provide you with a baseline database to help you start filtering out spam right away, or do they expect you to build that database from scratch (which I prefer since it reflects *my* history of good and bad e-mails, not some composite profile decided by someone else). They say they support blacklists. Presumably they mean public DNSBLs (DNS blocklists), like SpamHaus and SpamCop. Do they let you choose which DNSBLs to use, or are you stuck with whatever unidentified blacklist providers they happened to choose? The blacklists help identify known spam sources while your Bayesian filter catches up. SpamBully is a non-professional solution. Why? Because it panders to ignorant consumers that think fake bounces and challenges are a proper means of eliminating spam. Both can end up getting you blacklisted because of your misdirected backscatter or "challenge spam" afflicted onto innocents. I suspect you simply do not have SpamBully properly configured. Go ask in their forum on how to configure and use their program. |
