Does anyone know if there is a size limit to the blocked senders list in OE6? I know its 250 in Hotmail.

Is there a limit on the number of Rules Wizard rules?

For rules that are copied to Microsoft Exchange Server, there is a 32k limit. This amounts to about 40 rules.

For rules saved on the client, there probably is an upper limit, but we don'tknow of anyone who has found it yet. Certainly, the more rules you have, the more time it takes to process incoming messages.

Hotmail is an ISP; they can set whatever limits they need in order to conserve space.

Here's a link that says there no limit to Outlook Express 4... probably OE6 is similar:

The one sentence is about a third of the way down,, under the third figure.

Here's another ISP that has a blocked senders list of 1000 characters.

There's no limit to the number of "blocked senders" on your OE6 local computer -- only what you are willing to wait through for each e-mail to be scanned.

Thanks a million...er, a thousand. Microsoft doesn't seem to have an answer for this.
