I am very familiar with VBA, but I dont see how you adding a spammer button to outlook compares to a tool that has many features, like white listing which in that case you would never get an email in your mail box becuase in this case you would be working with a rejected message from a domain, that you may want to let into your system.
Most people do not get a copy of every message that comes into there system so how does this help your clients or anyone else. Besides Outlook and Outlook express already have a block list built into them so your button is kinda moot point. We are talking here from a system administrators point of view here, unless your are talking from a end users point of view I guess that would be a handy feature if you did't like the block sender builtin to your mail client. ----- Original Message ----- From: "T.
