Junk Mail

[Hugo gleaves]

If I click on a message in my inbox, I get a menu, on that I can select "Junk
Mail" and get another menu. That menu has various option, but why on earth is
there no "Add Senders Domain to Blocked Sender List" option?

We all get many junk msgs all the time, often the name part is unique and I
see many messages from different names but the same domain.

This is pretty obvious, so why didnt MS include this feature?

I'm using Office Pro 2007 without Exchange Server incidentally.

Blocking the address is useless for such Junk Emails. The domain name is
just as changeable as what is in front of the @-sign; you might catch 3 or 4
more so blocking it takes more clicks than pressing the Delete button.

In general you would only block an address if it is from a list-server you
cannot unsubscribe from somehow. A long block list also makes your mail
receiving much slower. If a lot of spam gets through, you should consider
raising the filter level.

If you still want to block at domain level, you can create a message rule.
