Re: Marking an email as spam

A. The sender is NOT using different e-mail addresses. I DON'T believe that
blocking an e-mail address has any effect when the sender will change their
e-mail address every time they spew !

B. I have no prior rules that I'm aware of that prevent getting to my
blacklist.

C. Your reply was NOT particularly helpful, but thanks anyway.

Using Outlook 2007 : Even though I consistently opt to add a particular
sender to the blocked sender list, it doesn't seem to make any
difference. I
still get email from that sender in my inbox. How do I correct this ?

Is the sender using a different e-mail address each time they spew
another message at you? If so, why would you believe that blocking on a
sender's e-mail address has any effect when the sender will change their
e-mail address everytime they spew? A blocking list based on e-mail
addresses is worthless in eliminating spam. Anyone can specify whatever
e-mail they want to claim is theirs, just like you can, too.

If the same sender is always using the same e-mail address on which you
block then perhaps you have prior rules that prevent getting to your
blacklist rule. If you have prior rules with a stop-clause in them and
they fire then, well, you told them to stop and not process any further
rules.
