Outlook junk senders list has limit ?

[np2np]

One of my clients reported me that he got a message
when he tried to add an email address to
"Junk Senders List", it said something like
"cannot add anymore because the list exceeded limit.."
Sorry I didn't have exact error words, but
does anyone know about this limit ?

I appreciate if somebody tell me the max size of
"Junk Senders.txt".

Thanks,

Max size is 32Kb for junk senders list as well as rules wizard file .rwz

Thank you for your reply, it is very helpful.

By the way, how did you figure out the size ?
If you know the URL that Microsoft mention about this,
please tell me, so I can show my boss.

I am not aware of any URL..for this..
Long time ago I remember my friend had the same problem..and he truncated the email ids, and made the text file upto 32kb approx and it worked..
He got this figure by a guess similar to the rules file 32kb..
may be you can show my post to your boss :-

Hi Murugs,

"limit 32kb" is what I needed,
it will be fine without explained URL.
Thank you for your info, I appreciate that.

There is another MSKB article about this, but the only one I can find a the moment is

Here's the one I was looking for.

Basically, most of the size is caused by multiple addresses. Your client would be much better off creating a good (thoughtful, logical) set of rules; instead of the Junk Senders list.
