blocked sender, still his message appears in my inbox

[FUnky]

Hi All,

I tried the MS Office Outlook 2003 junk email feature but ran into the
following problem:
Even after adding a sender to blocked sender list, I was getting his email
into my inbox, when it should have gone into the Junk Email folder.
Why is that happening ? I have just one sender in that list, so there is no
limit overflow trouble as such.

Many thanks in advance..

If it's junk mail, chances are that the sender is using a different address
every time it's sent. That's why blocked sender lists are so ineffective in
combatting junk mail.

Actually the case is one of testing the feature. So, once I tried blocking
myself and sending an email from my account, and second time I tried
blocking one of my friend's ID and sending mail from his account. Both were
downloaded to my inbox.

Is this address in your Safe Sender's list? If so, that overrides the
Blocked Senders list.

Nope .. the address is only in my blocked sender's list. The safe sender's
list is empty.

If the address in your Contacts and are you considering your Contacts as
safe?
