a couple of new features which would be useful in the next version of
Outlook:

"add sender's domain to blocked senders list" - something which should have
been in Outlook 2003 and is such a glaring omission!
Linking Out of Office to the calendar - create new appointment, set time as
Out of Office then a box comes up where you set a custom OOO message. This
then gets applied during the time the appointment is in action.
 
1. Feature already requested
2. Outlook/Exchange 2007 already exists.

Only makes sense if the sender owns their own domain and is also using a
mail server on that domain. If the senders are few in number and
blocking the domain encompasses only those senders then this makes sense
unless the point is to get rid of spam. Of course, since the sender can
claim whatever e-mail address they want is theirs, blocking by e-mail
address or even by domain to get rid of spam shows that the Outlook user
hasn't a clue how e-mail gets sent. Anyone can say they are from
xyz@domain but be sending from abc@otherdomain. Just because a spammer
uses (e-mail address removed) doesn't mean the spam came from the Hotmail
domain or even from JoeBlow using a Hotmail account. Blocking by e-mail
address or by domain to get rid of spam is just plain stupid, something
the spammers count on because that tactic will never block their spam
getting in your Inbox. But then your request on how to enchance
blocking didn't specify why you want the enhancement.
