Matte,

Have you also noticed that you cannot add multiple emails to the 'Blocked'
sender's list. At least in Outook 2007, the option to send emails to the
junk mail sender lists is removed from the context menu if multiple e-mails
are selected. With all the junk email everyone receives we can't imagine
why
in the world Microsoft won't let us move a group of emails to the blocked
list all at the same time?

I came here to suggest the same exact thing! Why can you add a
domain to a safe list, but not add a domain to a block list? I'd
much rather be able to block them! I'm sick of the junk mail!!
Blocking single addresses is pretty much useless at this point! I
need to block an entire domain! Thank you!

And you can, just not via right-click or menu item.

Which essentially means you have to add the sender's email address to the
blocked senders list, then go into the Junk E-mail options and edit the
entry
to change it to block the entire domain. If you get a lot of spam, this
multi-step procedure really hampers the usefulness of the blocked senders
list. It would be much more usable and convenient if it were a one-step
right-click operation. With the frequency of spammers adding new bogus
domains from which to spam me, a multi-step procedure just isn't very
efficient. Hopefully MS will address this and add the option to
right-click
menu.

treefrog says: This discussion thread began in 2004 and it is now half way through 2009. Microsoft hasn't improved the handling of spammers who are getting smarter by the minute. I added dozens and dozens of 'domain names' to the blocked senders list, which is much more cumbersome than just adding the 'sender' to the blocked list. I continue to receive spam from these domains. There must be a better way to handle unwanted spam.
