Rules and Alerts, Custom Action for Junk Mail

[Guest]

I would like to set up a rule that will be triggered by a particular spam
subject line, add the sender to a "blocked senders" list, then delete the
email. It looks like I need a custom action to add the sender to that list.
The action is available under the "Actions" menu; is there a way to copy that
action to the rule? I checked out slipstick.com, and didn't see anything.

Any suggestions welcomed.

Thanks!

Custom actions are .dll components built with Extended MAPI and C++ or Delphi in such a way that they can be invoked by Rules Wizard. The average user can't simply create them. See http://www.slipstick.com/addins/custom.htm for code samples and commercial actions.

In any case, maintaining a blocked sender's list is largely a waste of time. If your particular flow of junk mail isn't caught by the junk mail software you are currently using, you may want to try a different junk application.

These e-mails are already going to the Junk E-Mail folder, where I've been
dutifully adding to the blocked-sender list and then deleting the message. So
I'll just set the rule to delete this particular spam.

Thanks!
