Blacklisted mails shd be in 'red'+tagged or deletion

Likely I am doing something wrong...

When adding a sender to the blacklist, then close MW, and launch it again, the entries are only set to be on the blacklist.
However, they are not tagged for deletion (or even in 'red' like if they were marked as spam).

How to accomplish this?

TIA

Hi there


What you'll be seeing is the Learning (Bayesian) thinking the emails could be good, which contradicts with the Blacklist, so MailWasher sets back to the 'unknown' area which tries to encourage people to keep training such messages as Spam.

It's all here in a round about way http://forum.firetrust.com/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=7214


The quick version is to give your Blacklisted entries more weight.....which you can do under Settings >> Spam Tools >> Spam Ratings >> anything like -150 through to -200 would do the trick.
