Junk filter options

I'm using the Junk filter in Entourage and have it set to the highest level
(most aggressive in identifying junk mail).

If I want to tell Entourage that a certain message is not junk, I'm given
the option of including the sender's address in my address book or of
accepting all mail from the sender's domain.

The first option works -- but I don't like littering my address book with
addresses that I may never use. I'd like to use the second option (to accept
all mail from the sender's domain), but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Using Domain does work but it's not 100%.

You could add to address book and assign a category to those addresses that
would denote they are temporary. Then, if you find you want to add them,
just change category and delete the temporary status.

It would be easy to sort by category temporary and delete addresses that you
added and never used.

Categories are one of the best features in Entourage. If you haven't
assigned each contact to a category you should do so. More on using
categories in a rule:

That's a good workaround, but doesn't answer the question: Why doesn't the
rule let me exclude messages from the sender's domain (as it claims to be
able to do)?
