Blocked Sender list issue

I spent a lot of time adding all my junk mail to block senders list, and
later when I pulled Windows Live Mail back up, my blocked senders list was
empty. Is this normal? Or is there a setting I need to change?

Are you signing in with a Hotmail Live ID? If so, your blocked senders list
etc will synchronize with those in Hotmail, so log on to Hotmail on the web
and see if the list is there (at Options > More options > Safe and Blocked
Senders > Blocked Senders).

Blocking senders of junk mail will often not help very much, because real
spammers tend to use throwaway addresses or false ones, so blocking them
will have no effect. Let the junk filter deal with it.

To add to Noel's response
Additionally, the sending address may have been spoofed to be the same as the recipient, thus another waste of effort and another
valid reason to maintain an accurate and up to date Contact list and maximize the potential of the Junk Mail filter and its related
configuration options.
