Junk e-mail quick way to block domain or top level domains.

[Dark Lard]

I know there are many questions about this but NONE have an acceptable
answer, though the answers on most would work they are too long a process to
be realistic like going to my junk options for every single domain i need to
block, or creating a rule then modifying it for every single top domain i
need to add.

This is so stupid but I have an old e-mail address (11yrs) that for reasons
i am not going into I have to still use. This thing gets lots of spam, I
can't/not allowed to install any 3rd party spam blocker. How can I do this
FAST.

For goodness sake, windows mail in vista has this in the right click
options! Why would they be smart enough to add it there and not too 2007...

As it is right now I've gotten fairly fast at right-click 'J' then 'B' to
add sender to blocked list. Heck it would make it even FASTER if I could
select multiple e-mails and add ALL selected to junk sender or junk domain. I
have created lots of rules but you can't do that forever plus I don't have
4hrs a day to make new junk rules and this e-mail still gets about 45 spams a
day that make it through all of the updated filters and junk lists. btw 300
or so a day end up in junk e-mail folder ;-Þ

HEEEEELLLP me!

And why exactly would you want to add addresses and domains to junk lists
and rules when pretty much all of them are used only once? It will
definitely not improve your filtering.

Okay, well then maybe I should make a wish for M$ to get smart about how a
junk filter should work, simple things like if I select 5 e-mails with the
same word/words in them minus very very common ones it should automaticall
filter them, like I keep blocking these you have voice mail blah blah, you
would think at least that would be simple but does it happen... no

I do admit that a lot of the e-mail addresses are completely one-time
however not all of them are and I might be able to reduce the number by half
for the ones that do make it in... it seems like they run on a month-bimonth
cycle of one top domain sending me junk.

And what about the multiple selection add to junk? how hard would that be? I
can select many and say mark as read, why not add to junk?

Thanks for the help

There are cases where filtering a domain can prevent a few extra messages
from coming through. Some spammer's domains are used for more than one user.
For those cases you can make the process a little easier in Outlook (not
Outlook Express). You may have already tried this, but these simple things
are easily overlooked by even expert users (which I am not).

From the Outlook menu bar, click View>Toolbars>Customize.
Select the Commands tab.
Click on Actions under Categories.
Scroll down to "Add Sender's Domain" under Commands.
Left-click on that item and drag it to your toolbar and release.
Open an email message and follow the same procedure in that window to add
the option to the open message window.

Now when you have junk mail highlighted or open, you can click on that
button to immediately add the domain to your junk mail list.
