You should only have a dozen, or much less, entries in your
allow/block lists. Blocking spammers based on their e-mail address is
stupid. Spammers don't use their real e-mail address. Spammers (and
their zombies) change their e-mail address everytime them spew. You
should already have a rule to accept e-mails from known senders (i.e.,
those in your contacts lists or address books depending on your
UNNAMED e-mail program). You might whitelist some newsletters in your
NAS allow list. But blacklisting spammers is only performed by those
ignorant to how spam gets sent. Thousands of e-mail address for
*past* spams is worthless against *new* spams.

I haven't used Norton products in a long time (many, many years).
When I did, they used registry entries but they were encrypted.
Copying and importing those encrypted registry entries under a
different instance of Windows won't work because the key used to do
the encrypting is different. So keep the list short so that it is
actually effective for the few number that are listed there and that
you'll remember (or can record for later manual reentry).
