Hi, all: When i switched over to bb, the same thing happened to me, although the Macgroup was not totally blocked, but the color of the unopened message indicated spam and I had to click the "this is not spam" line. Then I had the names added to my address list. This went for every individual who sent a message to the list. I believe by now I have everybody covered. I still would prefer to be able to list the domains I would not want to receive mail from rather than list the domains from which I want to receive mail as my junkfilter wants me to do.
