"add to junk sender list" equivalent in Entourage?

I loved the "add to junk senders list" in Outlook... right click on an
email and choose this and you never have to hear from them again...
straight to the deleted items folder! Does Entourage (2004) have an
easy way to do this. I know I can do it with rules, but that is way
more time consuming and complicated, and I believe I would need a
separate rule for each address, no? Thanks!

Junk email rarely comes from the same address twice. For the rare cases
when it does, such as a marketing newsletter you can't get off of, you
may as well add a rule. There may even be AppleScripts to automate the
task.

Get SpamSieve. It's a third party application but worth every penny.

Entourage has a good Junk Mail Filter, but it does not learn. If you
continue with the Entourage Junk Filter, be sure you keep a good Address
Book. The JMF never assigns messages from contacts in your Address Book to
the Junk category.

Thanks Diane... should have searched for the solution first, as I
found the older posts reccommending Spam Sieve right after I posted.
The "learn" function is truly what I am after, though I need to
understand what Spam Sieve's limitations are with IMAP accounts. The
description in the manual was a bot confusing.

In Entourage each type of account has it's own rules. You'll need to click
on the IMAP tab to add the SS rules.

Hmmm... In Entourage 2008 I use Message -> Block Sender (to which I have
assigned a custom keystroke), personally, as I have had a number of
incidents where my very personal, easy to use email address has been both
accidentally and intentionally (read: maliciously) listed by other people as
their own, subscribing me to email amounting in the hundreds, daily, and
they do often come from the same source(s), thus, 'Block Sender' works
perfectly well.

While it would be my preference to unsubscribe/remove myself from these
sources' mailings, I find that the trouble to do so -- without it actually
doing nothing more than confirming a valid address to which to send more --
is simply not worth the time and bandwidth. By blocking the sender, I never
see anything from them again, thus am not bothered further than once.

You'd have to ask MS and they usually (except for the EWS beta) don't
have public betas. They have to invite you,
