I need to know if you can block a specific sender from sending emails to me. I currently use Microsoft Outlook. When you send an email to an address that is wrong it comes back as a mailerdemon. I am looking for something like this to happen if this certain person tries to send an email. [sig][/sig]

I don't think you can set your Outlook personal mailbox to refuse e-mail from specific individuals although that may be possible in a global fashion in Exchange setup.
With Outlook, you could use the junk mail option (Under Actions). You would first need to set it up under Tools/Organize.
While this won't refuse the delivery it will, I believe, put it in a separate folder. The contents could then be deleted.
Hope this helps. [sig]<p>Larry De Laruelle<br><a href=mailto:larry1de@yahoo.com>larry1de@yahoo.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> [/sig]

There's an easier way to do this. Use the Rules Wizard.
Go to Tools>Rules Wizard. Select New and then go through all the selections, picking what you want it to do. You can even have the rule permanently delete the message. I used them when we got the ILOVEYOU virus.
