Junk Mail block domain shortcut?

B

Bob

In OL 2007, is there a way to create a shortcut like the ones available for
Add Sender to Safe List and Add Sender's Domain to Safe List which would be
Add Sender's Domain to Blocked List? You can add Sender to the Blocked List
but it's a pain to add the sender's domain, having to go into the Junk Email
Options each time?

Thanks!

Nope, do you have a specific need to block an entire domain on a regular
basis?

Thanks for the response.

When I get more than one spam from a domain that I feel has been created for
the sole purpose of sending spam I block the whole domain. Lately I've
been getting quite a few but to block the domain I have to go through all
the steps. This is not really a problem except to do a second spam email I
have to exit the Junk Email Options screen to select the next email. Thus
for each email I have to open and close the Options window before going to
the next. If you had a shortcut you could do this as you go down the list
of emails.

My only reason for wanting it.

Thanks

Does that happen very often? Quite often a domain is only used for one
spamming round so by the time you have received and blocked the domain it
will never be used again. If a lot of Junk Mail is coming through you might
also want to consider setting your Junk Mail filter to a higher level.
