Ban Sender does not work

[MrDan]

Hi,

I try to use Junk Filtering but it doesn't work. All I want is to ban some senders, I don't want additional spam filtering because my mail provider already has sufficient filtering. Here is the problem.

1) I marked some emails with:
Right Click -> Junk Mail Filtering -> Ban Sender.

2) I activated Junk mail filtering and double checked that the senders appear in:
Tools -> Junk Mail Filtering ->Word Lists -> Banned Senders.

I still receive emails from the banned senders! What am I doing wrong?

I'm running PocoMail 3.4

Hi Dan,

In General Settings tab of the Junk Mail Filtering window, do you have "Run standard non-Bayesian filters" ticked?

(Unless you really receive spam messages from one address for a longer time, I wouldn't generally suggest email address banning strategy to deal with spam effectively.)

That seems to do the trick. It's not very intuitive but it works now.

Thanks for your help,
Dan
