    Can wildcards (*) be used for Blocked Senders add list?


    When adding Blocked Senders names to Outlook 2007 can I type:

    *.untd.com or is it sufficient just to enter untd.com and any email ending in that will be trapped.

    Sometimes there are various junk mail that have a different and long string following the @ sign but a common ending such as the above.

    What is the best way to enter that common ending into the blocked senders list?

In Outlook 2010, how do I check the properties of an unrecoginzed e-mail in order to add it and/or its domain to my Blocked Senders list? In 2003, I could right click on an unknown e-mail and get all of that. Thanks, Mike
I normally receive several junk emails in my inbox as the junk email addresses do not appear in my blocked senders list. What is annoying is that Outlook 2007 (and I presume other versions) only allows you to add junk mail addresses individually - if you select several emails, click Junk E-mail...
