Add Senders Domain to the Blocked Senders List

[dw]

I'd like to see another feature added to the Outlook junkmail options.

I can easily whitelist a senders domain, why can't I just as easily
blacklist a senders domain?

Sure I can try to create special rules to do so, but that's not the point.
If I see that I'm continually getting spammed by
"ObscureNumericUser@wesendspam.***", I'd like to right-click on the message
and block the whole domain.

If a pop-up warning that doing so will block any and all email from that
domain, so be it.

Just my 2 cents.

Blocking senders, by address or domain, is pretty useless. Set the filter on
high and use the safe senders lists instead. BTW - there is a limit to the
number of names (about 2000) you can add to the safe and blocked lists, so
you don't want to waste it on addresses or domains that will never be used
again.

If outlook's filter isn't doing it's job, look at one of the many trainable
filter available or use simple rules to get what the filter misses.
