Blocked Sender List does not block

D

Dave @ WLEX

I can't confirm that any of my Blocked Senders List are being blocked, but in
particular, "@zeveryone.com" blasts a lot of spam through every day. (I've
found others as well.)

My junk mail is set to high. I have the latest downloads from MS. The
domains are EXACT. I have no other SPAM blocker installed.

do they use at least one full address that is the same so that you can see
if it's just failing on the domain only entry?

Also, you could use a rule to delete all of the mail from them instead:

They keep changing the full address, as do several others. I use rules
whenever I can figure out a pattern. I have a LOT of rules. Will any rules
grab the domain?

Use a rule that examines the headers for that part of the address that
remains inviolate, if any.

do a 'header contains' rule and look for the domain name.

That gives me a way to solve the problem, but doesn't answer why the blocked
senders list doesn't work. It gives me something to use, anyway (if that
works!).

Thanks!
