Like I said before, I gave up trying to add each and every one of the spam
email addresses to blocked senders over 18 months ago. Since they
constantly use forged addresses, bogus addresses, bogus ISPs etc., it is an
exercise in futility.
Using SpamBayes, my email inbox has been 99.9999% clean for that period of
time, after about a month of training it.

| Thank you for the software tip. I found the site for the Outlook
| add-on. After a bit of research I have installed it an giving it a
| shot. In addition, another post stated the following:
|
| If you have a "Windows" keyboard, the sequence Menu Key, J, B will
| add the selected message to the Blocked Senders list.
|
| If you don't have a Windows keyboard, Alt+A, J, B will do the same
| thing.
|
| If you want something more direct, you can use Tools - Customize
| Commands - Actions category, and drag the Add Sender to Blocked...
| command to an existing toolbar. Assuming that the Back key is already
| displayed on a toolbar, you'd either need to decommission its &B
| hotkey, or assign a different hot key to the "Add Sender to &Blocked
| Senders List" command. For example, you might change the whole named
| of that command to "&Junkify", and then you'd be able to press Alt+J.
| ;-)
|
| Again, thanks Milly for the post.

||
||| Hi:
|||
||| Is there already a defined hot key sequence to add spammers to the
||| junk mail list? If not can one create a hot key sequence to add
||| spammers to the junk mail list and if so how? If not can one create
||| a macro with a hot key activation to add spammers to junk mail list
||| and if so how?
|||
||| I like to filter out my e-mail via my keyboard; it is quick and

||| the time just to clean out my e-mail.
|||
||| Thanks!
