Ques regarding "Junk Sender List"

[J.Kearney]

When adding to "Junk Sender List" in Outlook, specifically OL 2K2-SP3,
is the real e-mail address recorded (johnQpublic@domain) or the alias (John
Q. Public)?

Similarily, can entire domains be flagged as Junk Mail senders?

Thanks in advance.

It's the real email address that's recorded. I don't
believe you flag an entire domain (though that would be
very nice) because I don't think you can use any wildcards
for the username (IE) *@blah.com with the * being a
wildcard. Like I said though, it would sure be helpful
because we all know the minute you block one address, the
spammer will generate another address that is only
slightly different. It's a futile battle isn't it?

Thanks Jim, I thought that was the case but wasn't 100%.

Yeah it'd be real nice to block entire domains! Are you listening

Sure. In OL 2002, the Junk Senders list is just a text file called Junk
Senders.txt in the hidden folder %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook. You can edit
it with Notepad if you want. To flag "domain.com" as a junk sender domain,
just put "domain.com" in that file. Moreover, you can put "domain" in that
folder and that will eliminate not only "domain.com", but "domain.net",
"domain.org", "domain.gov", or any other domain containing the word
"domain". (Note: it will also eliminate "domainsomething.com", so be
careful.)

I used it to eliminate ".sg", ".it", ".fr", and a lot of other country codes
as well.
