MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / October 2007Multiple "Add Sender to Blocked Senders List" operations.
One can only add a single sender at a time to the "Blocked Senders" list. At times I get up to several dozen spams in one download and it would be convenient to be able to select them all at once for adding to the "Blocked Senders" list. An often requested feature that may be added to a future version of Outlook.  SignatureMilly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

The blocked senders list would be in the billions with most address never used. The blocked list should be for annoying people or companies who keep sending you email and they won't remove your address or the procedure is too much bother. http://www.slipstick.com/emo/2004/up040930.htm#safe If the spam filter on high is not effective, find a better filter. http://www.slipstick.com/rules/junkmail.asp BTW - there is a limit to the total number of names that can go on the blocked and safe lists - its better to save the space for addresses that should not be marked as spam rather than filling it with single use addresses. http://www.slipstick.com/emo/2004/up040722.htm#safe SignatureDiane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: dailytips-subscribe-request@lists.outlooktips.net Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM > I wholeheartedly agree it is time consuming and because of that, one tends > to delete them in bulk rather than adding them to blocked senders.
