That generally works. If you go through Yahoo or Google or whomever, you need to do it to that address book, too.

I also keep a "Suspected Spam" folder that I weed through and add addresses as needed. The most vital is the "Politics" folder -- any damned fundraising mail gets dumped in immediately, but they're crafty and keep coming up with new names!

I actually, though, have the opposite problem than the op...I get regular e-mails from, of all places, a body jewelry company i've certainly never order from nor ever had any correspondence with. But no matter how many times I mark it as JUNK, new ones just keep showing up. I do agree, training the filters can be a bit a bit tedious, but well worth it if you have a raining Saturday with nothing else to do.

this message does not seem to even have a spam score. it is from a google board to a gmail address. no matter how many times i drag it in and click through, even, it just refuses to learn. funny thing is i belong to another group, and i get those messages just fine. weird.

did add it to my address book as suggested and hope that does it. but interesting that i could probably program my own rules to do the job. this seems a tad dated, but it looks easy enough to do. of course, if i did it that way, i would no doubt have some sort of catastrophic failure that would lose it all.
