Creating a Rule to delete spam in Outlook Express

            Mail is scanned for spam by Eccentrix Wireless, if it detected to be spam the subject line is marked, and sent to the user.  As a user, you can choose to have this email automatically deleted off your machine before you look at it.  Eccentrix Wireless does not take any responsibility for email that is marked as spam and deleted by the customer.

We have three different tagging options that you can choose to filter.

·         {Definitely Spam?} – These messages are most likely spam and have triggered the spam filters with high marks

·         {Spam?} – These messages were triggered by the spam filters as spam, but are probably worth reviewing.

·         {Disarmed} – These messages have links that could possibly try and identify you.  These could possibly be legitimate emails (banks, online accounts, etc.)

Follow these rules to filter messages for Outlook Express

·         Open Outlook Express

·         Click on Tools -> Message Rules -> Mail…

·         Check “Where the Subject line contains specific words” in box 1 and select “Delete it” in box 2.  You can give the rule any name you wish.

·        

·         Click “contains specific words” in box 3 and type in the phrases you want to filter.  In the following picture, we are going to just choose to filter {Definitely Spam?} although you could also add {Spam?} and {Disarmed} if you were sure you wanted to delete those as well.

·         Click OK for all three remaining dialogs to save the rule.
