Can I add a domain to the Blocked Senders list?

[Dunc]

I am just getting used to Outlook 2003 and trying to make use of the SP{AM
filter.
I see that when I right click on a message that one of the options id to add
a sender to the "Blocked Senders List"

Is there a way that I can also include the option to block a domain?

Thanks

There is an easy way, if you're running Outlook 2003+SP1.

Right-click on any e-mail, choose (menu) Junk Mail, Junk Mail Options,
(tab)International, (button) Blocked Top-Level Domain List.
Put check marks next to the top-level domains from where you never want to
receive e-mail. Apply.

Thanks, but I am not sure that fixes my problem

I get a listing of countries that I can block but not domains. I am
interested in blocking something like:

*@ghlrjywpumvk.net

or

*@tiscali.co.uk

and still be able to get other Email from the UK.

Any thoughts on dealing with that?

For the first URL you posted, it is obviously spoofed so blocking that one
would be useless. Just use the Block senders option - most of the domains
from the spammers are faked or forged so blocking that domain will simply
not work.

you can add @tiscali.co.uk but will need to do it yourself, you can't do it
on a right click. Do you have the filter set on high? It's better to let the
filter do it for your rather than using the blocked lists. Also note that
the spam from tiscali may be using a fake address, so blocking it won't
really do much besides block all mail from people using that domain - a
potential problem if you participate on mailing lists.

Just put "tiscali.co.uk" in the Blocked Sender's list.

Thanks Brian.

I can do that but I was hoping that I could just to it with a right mouse
click. Maybe MS will make that an enhancement??
