A few weeks ago I described how I handled a very similar situation on the general board (Opinions on simulated facial phermones)in the end, I let my cat go beat up the cat who was tormenting him. (not recommending you do the same)
If the wandering cat has an owner, see if you can talk to them about keeping the furball indoors. If that isn't possible, could you block your cat's view of the outdoor cat? If she only spots the other cat from one or two windows, could you switch to down-up shades so you enjoy the light but never see the outdoor cat?
bach flower essences, Rescue Remedy, will work for aggression. I rarely used it in the water dish because one cat had heart problems, but when given directly to an aggressive cat it worked wonders. I pick it up at a local new age shop, but Madame Alto may have a link to buy it online.
She is displaying really strong territorial and over stimulation - have you asked your vet about anti-anxiety meds?
Your right - discipline is not going to work. You're dealing with strong instinct, not rational thought. I can understand your frustration with all this!
Purrs,
Elizabeth
