How can I block senders email in Outlook 2002?

Sue

I keep getting email from a company that I have repeatedly tried to stop from
coming into my account. I'm tired of having to delete the same two emails
everday. How can I block their email address from entering my Outlook
account? I would like to just have it forward automatically back to them, but
can't figure out how. I have Outlook 2002.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Sue

Add their address to the Junk Senders list.

A rule can do that.

Yes, I know I can send them to the junkmail list, but then I have to go and
delete them in that folder. I've tried to email and fax them to stop sending
me their email, but to no avail. I'm at the point where I don't want it
coming in at all so I don't have to waste my time remembering to go to the
junkmail folder to delete it. Is there any way to just "block" them
altogether or automatically send it back to them?

Thanks.

Sending messages to SPAMmers or clicking on their "unsubscribe" links merely
confirms to them that your email address is valid so they can send you even
more SPAM or sell your address to other SPAMmers.

You might find a tool like http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/ worthwhile.

No, you don't. Just set the autoarchive settings for that folder to delete
items permanently and let Outlook delete items from it automatically.
