Author How can block e-mail on a generic level?

Hi folks

I am using MS Outlook Express 5 as my e-mail package. Frequently, I get spam - who doesn't? I know how to block the senders on an individual basis ie, joebloggs@hotmail, but how do I block spam at a generic level?
To clarify that; can I block ANYONE based on their domain name, for instance xxyyzz@hotmail, just by specifying @hotmail as the blocking criteria? I can't find specific help files for this requirement.

My list of block senders is now bigger than my personal address book. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

1. Outlook Express is a poor choice in terms of options and especially security.

2. Spam Assassin will take care of that :0

I use outlook express 6 and I am able to block an entire domain just by going the Message Rules window then on the block senders then enter the domain name only.( @hotmail.com) But I actually just ended up making rules that sent any messages that I filtered to a special folder. That way I could review them really fast to make sure nothing important got into it.

ohhh goto TOOLS>MESSAGE RULES

I'm sure you can figure it out from there.
