if you use cpanel for your hosting, go into the email control stuff, enable spam assassin and then black list the persons email address. thay may do the trick

Use caution with Spamassassin it can also block email that you want (as I just learned to my cost!) - better to use the filter option to filter out the email address, keywords etc.

thank you for the help, but it seems outlook 2002 cannot filter email by keyword.

Your hosting server should be able to, otherwise try a programme like Firetrust Mailwasher Pro on your PC.

If there's something specific in the headers, your Outlook version can filter it to deleted items.

There should be a string in the header that is constant with the offender.
Thats the trick. Glad it helped.
