Building Junk Mail Blocked Senders

[Rob from Massachusetts]

I am using Outlook 2007 fully patched on Windows 7 64 bit. Many of my users
get over 5,000 SPAM messages a day and want to bulk add them to the blocked
senders list. This is not possible, but it REALLY should be. It would be a
huge step to improving the productivity of potentially millions of users.

Not really, as the addresses used to send out spam are usually only used
once. If they were to add 5000 addresses a day to their Block List, then
they'd only create a slower receiving process. Just delete the messages and
only mark the address as blocked when you repeatedly get a message from that
sender AND there is no other way to block this message AND the messages are
being received to your Inbox.

Enabling a server-side filter with its settings to low, should already
filter out the most obvious spam to your users. Outlook's Junk Email filter
takes out a lot too by default and can be set even to a higher level. The
amount of spam ending up in your Inbox will not be 5000 a day then.
