My best suggestion is to go to www.mailwasher.net and get a copy of mailwasher. It's free to use, or pay a few $$$ if you want to get rid of the banner. Then you run that before you open Outlook. It "peaks" into your mail while still on the server and you can bounce all the junk right back at the spammers...to make them think you no longer exist! Then when you download your mail in Outlook...you get only the good stuff. And it "learns" so it'll eventually get easier as less mail is sent cos' your email gets removed from lists...and your friends get their email listed in your friend list, so they automatically get marked at good email. It's great! I use it ALL THE TIME! Even tells you when you have a virus in your mail and dumps it right off the server so your antivirus doesn't even need to lift a finger!

Hi, Anyone can give me some clue on having a effective rules on making an affective rule or rules on MS Outlook XP and send those message to my eternity folder? I tried to use the body of message as the key word search but it seem that outlook is not seeing what I told it to do. The only effective rule I have at the moment is using e-mail addy but I reckon it will be a hell of a address book as time passes. Any crime withness or clue will be greatly appreciateed. Biggest question in my life, why is a building call a building when its already built?
