My Block Sender List became so full I was directed to delete entries in order to
block more. I deleted all of them, but I continue to be notified my List is full. I am unable to add more names to my Block Sender List. Any suggestions?
 
Since you didn't post to Outlook Express NG, assume these
instructions are intended for OE only.

First: If you are using Blocked Senders to block Spam, you are
wasting your time. A Spammers address is seldom used twice. Try
message rules or a third party Spam Blocker. Do a Google to find one.
There are plenty.

To fix your current problem:

Close OE. Go to: Start>Run>Regedit>find this key (Blocked Senders)
and delete it:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\5.0\Block Senders

Blocked Senders list will be empty, but you can rebuild it now. This
will leave Blocked Senders as if you just got the computer.

If you are interested, there are some good basic ideas for some
message rules here:
