Easy way to block a domain in Outlook 2003's junk filter?

I

OK, so it's easy to right-click an email and specify to add the sender to
blocked senders list. But is there an easy way to add their whole domain?

Most of my spam comes from random_bit_here@domain_i've_never_heard_of.com,
and it seems rather ineffectual to block the sender when the bit before the
@ changes all the time. I'd much prefer to block the whole
domain_i've_never_heard_of.com domain (quite often it's company.ro or
company.ru).

Is there an easy way, as the only way I know is to manually edit the list of
blocked senders....maybe there's a macro to add a right-click menu option?

Hi Ian,
there is a way with rules to do it. But if you get many different Spamm from
different mail accounts, it would be to big to filter them with rules.
So please try this:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
with @spam.com in the sender´s address
and on this machine only
permanently delete it
and stop processing more rules.

Maybe this is a way to delete them.

You don't seem to have understood my point.
I know how to manually add a rule/block/whatever to a domain, but that's
slow and tedious.

I want to know if there is a *quick* way of doing this. Right-click on a
mail item, select "Junk E-mail->" and there's an option for "Add Sender to
Blocked Senders List". I want a method as quick as that for blocking a
whole domain. I don't want to have to manually do it.

So, is there a function in Outlook or a customization that will add this
functionality?
