How many addresses does the junk-email block list hold in Outlook 2000?
Hi,
for OL2003 you can get this information from sue mosher´s side
Maybe in Outlook 2000 would it be the same
OUTLOOK 2003'S SAFE AND BLOCKED SENDERS LISTS
How many addresses can the safe and blocked lists hold? Approximately 2000
total. This is because the total size of all lists combined cannot exceed
512K. Once the 512K limit is reached, Outlook alerts you and additional
addresses aren't saved until you remove some from the list.
For example, if you have 1800 addresses on the safe list, you can only block
approximately 200 addresses. If the addresses are long, your list will hold
fewer addresses; if they're short, you'll be able to have more.
Importing a list of blocked addresses from an older version of Outlook is
not recommended, in part because these lists often are larger than 512K and
Outlook crashes when trying to import them, but also because spammers change
addresses so often that lists are outdated within a few months.
Microsoft imposed the limit to improve performance, as the lists are stored
as a hidden property in the Inbox and duplicated to the local registry. Each
time the users synchronize with the Exchange mailbox store, the lists are
downloaded. The limit can be adjusted on Exchange server, by adding a new
registry key value to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\Parameters
System\
Add a new DWORD value of Type Max Extended Rule Size and edit the Value
Data, entering the maximum size (in bytes) you want to allow.
If Outlook's Junk email filter doesn't offer enough options, misses too much
spam, or you need better Safe and Blocked lists, try one of the many
excellent third party anti-spam filters available.
