Click on the Blocked Senders menu and then click on Add under the Junk E-mail Options window. Type the desired email address that needs to be blocked in the box and then hit the OK button.

Highlight the Options tab and place a checkmark in the box saying Permanently delete suspected junk e-mail instead of moving it to the Junk E-mail folder. Save the changes by clicking on the options Apply or OK (whatever you see there) and exit all the windows. Close Outlook to let the changes take place. Reopen Outlook.

Wait, we are not done yet. There is another way of keeping a sender away from your Outlook mailbox. Open Outlook and create an email message like you usually do. Type any notification message of your choice like ‘you are banned from sending email to this email address’ (any message that you like to type in) and then click on the Save As button (you can go to Save As option from File menu also).
