Spam filtering configuration for Outlook Express 6

The following describes how to configure Outlook Express 6 to move spam to a separate folder based on our Spam filter tags. Because Outlook Express 6 does not allow you to define rules that apply to the message header, you can only apply one level of spam filtering. However, this should be sufficient to filter most spam messages that are sent to your domain.

• Start Outlook Express

• Click on Tools / Message Rules / Mail

• In the Conditions section place a checkmark beside Where the subject contains specific words

• In the Actions section place a checkmark beside Move it to the specified folder

• Click on the blue contains specific words link

• In the text box type #SPAM#

• Click the Add button and then OK

• Click on the blue specified folder link

• Indicate the new folder where you would like you spam to be sent

• Click OK

• Type a name for the rule

• Click OK

Your rule is now configured.  Any email you now receive with #SPAM# in the subject field (our system will do this automatically with any email rated 5.0 or above) will automatically be moved to your spam folder.
