Block Sender List - I need to find it!

17 years ago

Please, can someone help me find my Block Sender List.

I blocked myself!

This morning an email came in and the sender name was one of those wierd names with a jumble of letters. As I clicked BLOCK SENDER, the address in the notice was MINE!

Can someone tell me what kind of problem I have - that would do that sort of thing?

Can someone tell me where I can find that BLOCK SENDER LIST?

I know I've seen it before, but I can't find it

I am using Outlook Express.

Did you actually send the email to yourself? Sometimes I get spam mail from myself and I sure didn't send myself a message about pics of nude women or male enhancement pills. Sometimes it gets blocked, sometimes it doesn't.

I just looked for you and didn't find it either. Maybe because I haven't blocked anyone so I don't have one yet. LOL

Blocked sender getting through to my Hotmail inbox

I 'block' email addresses in Hotmail with no problem. In a nutshell, go to your Hotmail and click on Options in the upper right hand corner. Choose More options Under "Preventing junk email" choose Safe and blocked senders Fill in their email address in the "Blocked email address or domain:" box and click Add to list Viola! If you get another one before getting him blocked just check the box in front of his email (in the inbox list) and choose Sweep. Then choose Block from. Then choose Block all. Once you hit 'enter' you should get the message, "Okay, you've added securityupdate@suntrust.com to your block list." It sounds like you probably did not have the addy on your actual blocked sender list.

If I find a buyer before I officially list . . .

That is extraordinarily generous. Standard procedure--which your agent is unlikely to suggest to you, for obvious reasons--is to "exclude" the known potential buyer so that absolutely NO commission is payable on the sale. Afraid I also have never heard of anyone paying a commission on a sale where the seller's had noted, as a potential pre-existing buyer, persons who had expressed interest in the property. Our situation is unusual. We've known our broker since 1998, when she sold us our current place. We went through extensive real-estate searches with her in 2003 and again in 2005, but weren't able to find anything. Since we started looking again in summer 2006, off and on, she called us when she heard about places we might like, including houses rep'd by brokers who would not have split a commission with her. The house we close on next week was one of those houses. I know our broker wasn't helping us solely out of the goodness of her heart; she knew that if we found a place we wanted to buy, we'd list our current place with her agency and she'd get the commission on that sale. But to have her help us so much with our search, lose out the commission, then get our listing as the reward for all that unpaid work and get cut out of that commission too... The commission we would have paid if our carve-out person ended up being our purchaser was probably more than an agent should expect in the circumstances, but it was one of those times when we were just not comfortable stiffing her. Bad karma and just...icky. Not unethical, merely one of those 'business is business' situations, but I would have felt that I didn't behave honorably.

Thanks everyone, I am back from seeing the set. The price is 750.00 for all pieces. Problem is the set was not in a house like in the photo but in the garage. You could not move two steps in the garage. The table was just wiped down with water before we arrived and was still damp. The chairs piled up in the back were so dusty that they looked white. The buffet full of dust and I could not see it straight on but from the side only and was only able to reach my hand in and open one drawer a bit. The china cabinet was in the smelly basement and I could see it. They seem to be in pretty good condition considering. I do not understand how anyone could put that up on CL and not even make an attempt at having it ready to show. I am not sure what to do. I am so upset that it cannot be seen properly and even though the husband was home , he made no attempt to help myself and daughter see the pieces better. I could not buy it without at least opening the table and trying the leaves and opening all the drawers of the buffet so I think we will have to pass. Some people are so weird.

I know my list of blocked addresses must be a mile long, because everytime this wierd stuff comes in I block it.

I learned about it on here, so I'm sure someone knowa where to find it.

I tried right clicking on the "block sender" under "message" from the tool bar, but I get nothing there.

I looked under "options" and found nothing. Well, I did find a box checked that was supposed to stop someone from sending mail as if me.

I know the KT will come through for me!

OH, I can't beleive this! LOL I think this light colored hair that is growing in on my head is really BLONDE! LOL

Stargazzer, when I read your reply, I was sitting here wondering how you managed to look into my email to try to find me! LOL LOL Maybe I need to go back to bed and try again! There's a new excuse for my "old" behavior -- It's because I'm becoming BLONDE!
No offense intended!

I still need to find tha block sender list!
My email responses from this thread are coming in, so it must not be blocked!

Did you look under "Tools" in the toolbar across your email window? Click on that and you should see "Junk Mail Options", then there will be other options to click on to find your lists.

It amazes me that I don't get any spam at all. A young man at the cable company told me how to stop it and it worked, but you would have change your email addy. The guys in the help forum just laughed at my idea, but it works for me and it has for years.

Hayjud no offense taken. At my stage of old, I wouldn't recognize an offense even it hit me like a hammer.

OK, I found my name on the list, and restored myself to friendly terms!

Now I really am wondering how that can happen. I did not send it!

I think I will do a complete scan.
I'll be back later!

When I want to test an email for image or music, I send it to myself. In the days when I forwarded emails, I used BCC for my friends and put my name in the "to". That way only my email addy was exposed.
