rejecting spam; sending "NO ACCESS ALLOWED" msg to spam senders

[Guest]

I do not like that some spam is allowed into my Junk E-mail or Antispam
boxes. I like that I can block it from my inbox but I want more control. I
would like to be able to save those offending email addresses and block them
altogether, like the phone blocks callers. Some soliciting emails contain
graphic porn language for the purpose of selling sex drugs. My teen children
still have access to these when using my computer. I would like the ability
to make those particular incoming addresses automatically rejected and return
a message to sender as 'address blocked by owner" or something of that
nature. I often receive email messages of address unknown and
non-deliverable.....why not address blocked?

Blocking addresses generally is a waste of time, since spammers change addresses frequently. Outlook 2003 does support such a blacklist though.

Returning a message just lets the sender know your address is valid or, worse in the case of a spoofed sender address, imposes an unwanted message on the unsuspecting user whose address was spoofed.

There are a number of free and lowcost antispam tools that you might want to look at to supplement what OUtlook does. See http://www.slipstick.com/rules/junkmail.htm#tools
