Re: Outlook should let me add domain to blocked sender list via ri

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Blocking senders and domains is pointless - few spammers use them over. Setting outlook 2003/2007's junk mail filtering to high and using safe lists is better. (Make sure you get the updates monthly) If this isn't good enough for you, get a program you can train, like spambayes.
