Vista - Dealing with MULTIPLE Junk mail

My inbox regularly gets hundreds of items of junk mail, despite the filter
which is supposed to stop the garbage.
I can find the mail I want to keep alright but that leaves me with an inbox
full of garbage.
M'soft should issue an update to the windows mail program that makes it
possible to highlight ALL the mail left, right click and do a MULTIPLE "junk
email...add sender to blocked senders list". However, at the moment one has
to go through each email individually.
"One-at-a-time" is ok when you don't get much junk email (say on a brand new
address) but when your email address is more than a few hours old then you
are stuffed. It takes as long (or longer) to go through the emails
individually and move them to the junk mail folder one at a time (blocking
the senders address) as it did before junk mail filters came along and one
just deleted the rubbish straight away, thus defeating the purpose of having
the mail filters in the first place.

I spent some considerable time testing this utility with XP and it was
better than any of the built in filters in ANY mail programs, Microsoft
or otherwise. It never upset Outlook Express on XP but I have not tried
it with Vista.

It basically sits between your mail server and client, pretending to be
your server as far as the client is concerned.

In fact while testing I used the one copy of it to filter the email for
several computers, so I only had to train it once. It learns what you
consider to be spam quite quickly.

Blocked senders is not really successful because spammers use fake
addresses and stolen genuine ones, and they are stored in the registry
so eventually would likely cause trouble and become impractical.

I have had one or two email addresses that never get spam, the one I use
here gets thousands because I use it here, literally, so get your IPS to
give you two addresses and keep one exclusively for your bank, business
email, reputable companies etc.

Using the Blocked Senders list to stop spam is a waste of time.
Spammers routinely change their From address.

Not all of them, especially if they post through Google Groups.
Also, some that post there change only the number in their
username again and again, especially if the spammer is located
in China.

Although that article only mentions Outbox, it works for all mail folders.
