Why doesn't blacklist mean blacklist?

As a 'volume' user of MWPro, receiving several hundred emails/day, the vast majority unwanted, I'm wondering why my "blacklist" category is seldom permanent and many (several dozen) emails have to daily be 'renewed' as blacklisted.

Is it possible to tweak my Settings to increase the accuracy and longevity of blacklisting?

It has been a long time since I used version 5 or 6 of MW but I'm pretty sure you can set an expire time or never expire in the blacklist settings.

I can upload some screenshots to guide you how to increase the longevity - alas, in the modern times the blacklist has outgrown it's relevance and effectiveness. :thumbsdown

Running the blacklist scoring factor up (or down) to -200 gives me absolute control of my daily blacklisting...suits my needs perfectly.

I can see that quite vividly in your opening post, here. :devil

Now that my blacklisting is under control, it would be nice if my inbox could be periodically forwarded to a mail account accessible by cellphone...

My email client is Windows Live Mail...I wonder if Andy Android has an app that can access WLM. I am an unhappy iPhone user but would switch in an instant if I could read my email remotely.

I don't see an auto-wash feature in the MWP options, so maybe I'm too far off in left field...

Look for the Auto-Delete option on the individual spam tools and the option to delete any message scoring too many points under the "spam ratings" tab.
