Thank you for your response. I was able to export the registry keys I needed, use Textpad to edit out all the needless stuff, and create Rules for the domains I wanted to filter. I figure one semi-long Rule is better than 590 blocked addresses, and much easier to work with. Thanks again for your help.

Hi Tony,
The Outlook Express Mail Rules are stored in the registry. For more information see
the following Microsoft Knowledge Base Article:
KB276511 - OLEXP: How to Backup and Restore Outlook Express Blocked Senders List
and Other Mail Rules
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=276511
As for information about editing the registry to add rules, I suggest that you post
to an Outlook Express newsgroup. I can tell by your Internet Header that you are
posting to the newsgroups using Outlook Express. "To find newsgroups of interest"
using Outlook Express search Help for words in double-quotes, follow the steps given,
and search using the following term: outlookexpress

: I was just wondering if the Rules/Blocked Addresses are stored in a file of

: of blocking the domains and thus deleting the messages, I would like to add
: a rule to filter them into a specific folder in case I get real mail from a blocked
: domain. However, with 200 addresses blocked, it would take a decent amount
: of time to go back and forth between Blocked Addresses and Rules. Is there
: any way I can text-edit a file containing these blocked addresses so that I could
: lessen the transition time?
