MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / May 2008outlook
Please add a method to block domains in the spam filter in outlook2003. You have dded blocking of national or top-level domains, but not individal domains. I often get spam from different "people" at a given domain. I suspect the spammers just manufacture individual user names when sending. It is probably a little harder to manufacture domains. > Please add a method to block domains in the spam filter in > outlook2003.

Just put the domain itself in the Blocked Senders list. Actions>Junk E-mail>Junk Email Options>Blocked Senders>Add. Type the domain. Click OK. It even tells you the format you can use right on the "Add address or domain" dialogue. Why do people find Help so hard to use?  SignatureBrian Tillman This needs to be a right click option - when I'm clearing 500+ emails a day out I don't want to have to enter each domain separately - so maybe a multi selection then right click Add domains to blocked senders list. > > Please add a method to block domains in the spam filter in > > outlook2003.

Why do the same names show up > even after being added? The address you see as the From address when examining a message really has no bearing on the address the sender address. While the former may always appear to be the same, the latter can be different on each copy of the message you're trying to block. I haven't experimented much with the blocked senders list (mine's empty) so I don't know if using Add Sender to Blocked Senders List will add the From address or the real sender address. If the latter, it's not surprising you see the behavior you do. SignatureBrian Tillman Hi Brian, For some reason my outlook sends contacts whom I've emailed before and who've emailed me before to my junk email box. I've got them in my safe senders section and verified their addresses are not in my block senders section. How & why could this be happening and is there any way to fix it?

Account type? SignatureBrian Tillman MS Outlook 2003, Vers. 11.8118 SP2, Running on Win XP Not sure what you mean by account type. We're running outlook from a business.

Thank you. Now explain what you mean by "sends contacts whom I've emailed before...my junk email box." Outlook can't move contacts. Those are in your Contacts folder and are not mail. Outlook's Junk E-mail filter doesn't operate on contacts. SignatureBrian Tillman Clients, Contacts, people that I know and that are on my safe list. People who've emailed me before & I've emailed them before. Suddently, although I've not changed my rules, instead of coming into my inbox, these known contacts are going into junkmail, including my boss' email and he sits in the same office. What could this be? What can I do? Aleisha > > SMTP, I believe. What can I do? > > Thank you. Now explain what you mean by "sends contacts whom I've emailed > before...my junk email box."

What could this be? Again, you don't receive contacts or send with Outlook. You receive and send mail messages. Is this what you're talking about? SignatureBrian Tillman Ok Brian, You're just being difficult now. You know exaclty what she means, emails from known contacts are going into the junk folder. If you know the answer to her query, you should help, otherwise you are just engaging in needless harrasment. > > Clients, Contacts, people that I know and that are on my safe list. > > People who've emailed me before & I've emailed them before.

You may be a mind reader and can figure out what people are thinking no matter what words they use, but, alas, I'm not. Unless a person posts ACCURATE information and says what he means, it's difficult to diagnose a problem. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
