Can junk mail be BLOCKED using Outlook 2002.

At present, Outlook notifies me new mail has been received and I have to stop
what I am doing to see if it is important. Once I have identified junk mail
coming from a particular address, I want it to be blocked or permanently
deleted without further attention from me. Is this possible?

I find that it is rare that a Junk Mail will continue to come from the same
address more then once. I think you will find that it can me filtered, but
tomorrow it will come from another address.

Outlook 2002's filters are pretty lame - you're better off with a 3rd party
antispam program.

if you want to use rules, see

3rd party tools are listed on the same page.

Some junk mail can be filtered and some can't. Outlook 2002 has a junk mail
filter that you can enable through Organize, but it's not the best filter.
OL also has a "Junk Senders" and "Adult Content Senders" list that you can
populate that can help. However, there are third-party add-ins, like
http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/ that may prove more effective than the
built-in filter Outlook 2002 has.
