Spam filters for Outlook Express
For Outlook Express : (Part
2)
There is a lot you can do yourself,
before calling for the help of a
computer expert. Create your rules in Outlook
Express.
In addition to filing mail
in folders according to the address it
was sent to, you can set up other
spam control-handling rules to help
you manage spam. For instance, in
Outlook Express you could set up a rule
that automatically deletes mail from a
certain troublesome address, or that
automatically files e-mail that wasn't
specifically addressed to you (visit
"Create a Junk Mail Removal System").
Best controls are found below for
blocking spam, removing spam or bouncing
it.
You can fight spam messages by setting your outlook express
software to automatically file mail in a
spam folder if the subject contains
words like "medical breakthrough,"
"extra income," "XXX," or whatever you
specify. If you upgrade from Outlook
Express to Outlook 2002, it lets you
color-code email spam messages in your
in-box that it suspects are spam or
adult content, so you can quickly get
rid of the spam by scanning the list for
easy deleting the spam. For more details
on how to prevent or remove spam, go to
"Put the Spam Control on" in "File
Management, Excel Tabs, Junk E-Mail."
