Treatment of Junk Email (Blocked addresses vs. suspected junk)

[Guest]

You should have the option of being able to treat suspected junk email
differently than blocked email. Blocked email addresses should be discarded
directly rather than lumped in with all the other suspected junk email. This
makes review of the suspected email easier and shorter.

What more do you have to do for what?

So, use a rule.

There is no way that I know of setting up a rule that refers to your list of
blocked addresses.

Any message from an address in your Safe Senders list is supposed to bypass
the junk mail filter. If it's not, maybe the junk mail filter is damaged.
Try recreating it with this technique:

I didn't intend to imply that there was. Don't use the blocked senders list
(it's virutally pointless in blocking SPAM anyway, since SPAMmers keep
changing the sender). Instead, us a rule whose condition matches something
the junk messages share, like IP subnet or domain name.
