googlesystem.blogspot.com— If you constantly receive messages you'd like to ignore from the same persons or Gmail's spam filters aren't too good for you, it's time to create a blacklist. How to do that in Gmail?

This kind of project is screaming open source all over it. There should be a greasmonkey script that can do this with one touch of the button. Additionally, there should be some sort of communal spammer list, so thousands of email addresses are added in one simple step.
@dineshbabuYeah. I'm not sure why it isn't just as easy to create a simple filter to do the same thing? In fact, I have... for instance, some family members and friends who like to send chain mails and I created a filter that looks for their name and the subject containing "FW: " If both match it goes to the trash.
This was helpful in the sense that I hadn't yet explored G-Mail's filter feature, so thank you for pointing that out to me... but it seems that could have been accomplished without the black list group. Plese correct me if I'm wrong.

Dumb. What is with the ridiculously easy howtos on the front page lately?

D00d.. This is lame.. It's just basic filter functionality that's been in standalone e-mail clients for years...
