Outlook 2003 Junk Mail Issue

[David]

Folks,

I would like to permanently delete junk mail that comes into Outlook
2003. The junk mail that I would like to delete is from senders I have
identified as junk senders by right-clicking on a message that is in my
inbox and choosing Junk Mail > Add Sender to Blocked Senders List. I
also have gone to Tools > Options > Junk E-Mail > and checked
"Permanently delete suspected junk e-mail instead of moving it to the
Junk E-mail folder." I am setting my junk e-mail filtering on "High."

And it doesn't work! Specifically, I have a webmail account that I am
using for testing, and the email messages stay in my inbox. They do
not move out of the inbox unless I right-click on a message and choose
Junk Mail > Add Sender to Blocked Senders List, and then they go to the
Junk E-Mail folder and show as unread.

I would simply like them to be deleted immediately. Is this possible?
This is happening on two machines in two locations.

Thanks,

David

What type of account do you have? do you down load the full message body or
just headers?

BTW - the blocked list is a very poor way to manage spam. If Outlook 2003's
junk filter on high doesn't cut it, get a real antispam application.

Actually, it is an exchange server account. The account that I am
using for "spam" is a web account. Nothing is getting blocked!

Are you using cached mode or classic online mode? Cached is required.

Cached Exchange Mode worked! Thanks so much!
