How to block a porn spammer messages, and then refresh so they all
disappear? I added sender to blocked then hit Send receive, but still see
all the spam listed? What am I doing wrong?

Hi, JK.

Even when it works perfectly,Blocking can block only future incoming
messages - not those already in the Inbox. :>(

Do you have just a few messages to delete, or hundreds of them? If only a
few, delete them manually one at a time. You could mark each one "Junk",
and then delete the Junk folder contents (use the little "x" that appears in
the Folder list).

If there are many of them, all from a single sender, then you can create a
Message Rule and Apply Now to move them all into a new folder, then delete
the folder. Or if they all contain the same offensive word(s), you can
create that kind of rule.

You could have WLM sort the Message List to get the offensive messages
together, then use <Shift>-click to select them all and delete them.

If these simple hints don't work, you'll have to give us more details. Spam
is often not easy to deal with, and sometimes we just have to live with it.

My question was how to block a sender, and then refresh the NG to see
the message go? I block the message's sender, but can't seem to get refresh
to work?

As RC noted..

Block a sender prevents incoming.

Create a rule and run the rule on the newsgroup to remove existing.
