What is "Safe Lists Only" since Outlook doesn't have that natively? What
version of Outlook? What 3rd party Add Ins do you have? What type of mail
account?

Kathleen, it's on Actions>Junk-Email>Junk E-mail Options. It's the highest
setting for the junk e-mail filter.
 
Just like the topic says.

Unfortunately, someone of spamming me from my own domain.

Do you have your own domain on the Safe Senders list? If so, take it off that
list.

But doesn't that merely mean that any sender not in the Safe Senders list
gets their e-mail automatically moved into the Junk folder? Any spammer
sending under the pretense of an entry in the Safe Senders list won't get
moved to the Junk folder.

Which is an introduction and provides NO DETAILS!

What leads you to believe that your domain (which apparently you added to
the Safe Senders list) is devoid of spammers? What makes you believe that
spammers are incapable of specifying any domain they want in their bogus
e-mail address?

You never mentioned whether or not the e-mail address or its domain for the
unwanted sender is in your Safe Senders list. You also didn't mention if
you have rules defined which could override the actions of the junk filter.

Outlook version?
Windows version and edition?
Type of e-mail account (POP, IMAP, Exchange, HTTP)?
Any rules defined?
Is the sender in your Safe Senders list?
Is the sender pretending to be your by using your e-mail address?
Do you put entire domains in the Safe Senders list?
What domain is the sender using?
Do the Received headers show the sender is sending from that domain?
Why do you believe spammers are using valid e-mail addresses?
Using any anti-spam software?
Does your anti-virus software superfluously scan your e-mails?


--- Posting Hints ---

ALWAYS REVIEW your message before submitting it. You want someone OTHER
than yourself to understand your post. Also remember that no one here is
looking over your shoulder to see at what you are pointing. If you don't
well explain your situation by providing the details that you already know,
don't expect others to know what is your situation. Explain YOUR computing
environment and just what actions you take to reproduce the problem.

Often you get just one chance per potential respondent to elicit a reply
from them. If they skip your post because you gave them nothing to go on
(no details, no versions, no OS, no context) then they will usually move on
to the next post and never return to yours.

When using a webnews-for-dummies interface (e.g., Microsoft's Communities,
Google Groups, or a leech site using a forum-to-Usenet proxy), those are
gateways to Usenet. Despite the pretense of a forum, you are participating
in a newsgroup (aka Usenet).

Regarding error or status messages:
- Do NOT omit the message.
- Do NOT describe the message.
- Do NOT summarize the message.
- Do NOT paraphrase the message.
- Do NOT truncate the message.
- Do show the ENTIRE message (but munge or star out personal info,
like your username in an e-mail address but not the domain).
- DETAIL the steps to reproduce the error or problem.

Correct, but that would mean he has his entire domain in the Safe Senders
list, since he said all junk is from addresses in the domain.
