There were plenty of subtle and less subtle implications in the
promotional stuff that introduced Mail that that was in fact the
case, but I'm pretty sure they were just blowing smoke.
If not, is there some way to easily mark a sender as "Blocked" and
their messages always go to junk?
Not unless you want to script one. You have to manually add a rule.
Mail will give you some small help, in that it will prefill the
choices for "sender is," "any recipient is," etc. with the values
from the piece of mail that is currently chosen.
I'm not so worried about a complicated script (I'm a
programmer). Problem is, I'm pretty new to the Mac, but been
using Windows/Unix/Linux stuff for years, so most of my
problems are of the "How do I do this on my Mac?" variety.
Case in point... I didn't even know I could write a script!
That's different!! But I tend to avoid Smart mailboxes just
because my volume of mail is really high and it slows things
down. This might be a point to revisit that. Thanks!
You might want to have a look at SpamSieve
(<http://c-command.com/spamsieve/>). I use it with Mailsmith and
very rarely have spam messages delivered to a mailbox other than
my spam box. My SpamSieve installation currently reports 99.7%
accuracy since 9/1/2004. I haven't used it with Mail.app, but I
would imagine that it would be just as effective.
