Most spammers use an address for a short period then move on to another address and you end up blocking an address that will never send you mail again. If the junk mail filter is moving the messages to the Junk Email folder, there is no need to block the sender.
The messages the rules are supposed to delete are moved before the rule runs. The rules run on mail in the Inbox after the Junk email filter has removed all the spam. If it's moved to the Junk Email folder, you might find it.Ĭreating rules to delete the mail won't work either. If the mail is dropped, you won't be able to recover it. One reason the messages are not blocked is in the event you accidentally add a 'good' address or domain to the blocked list.
Users expect that Blocked Senders are blocked from the mailbox, not moved to Junk Email. Outlook’s Blocked Senders puts the sender’s address or domain on a list and messages will always be moved to the Junk Email folder.
