We also create boxes for all known contacts, then when something new comes
in, it lands in the Inbox and immediately subject to scrutinty. We use a
program called Pocketknife peek to examine the letter without actually
"opening" it and if it is spam, it gets deleted. Most are obvious from the
subject line or sender and they get deleted right away. We may lose some
good ones, but what the heck? That's why good subject lines are so
important. Very little is repeat spam, so creating filters does not work
too well.

Good morning folks.
To my knowledge, there is absolutely no fool-proof way to block spam with
either Outlook Express or Outlook via message rules handling. Although one
can write as many rules as one wishes for incoming documents with specific
attributes, it is impossible to know in advance what many such messages may
look like in terms of from lines or subject line content. Our ISP, Rogers
AT&T here in Canada helps by attempting to identify spam and labeling
subject lines with the word [bulk] within brackets. But, for reasons
mentioned, some bulk messages are ones we want, most not, and many spam
messages get through their detection system. The only fool-proof system I
know of is to subscribe to annoying spam filter systems which blocks all
incoming mail that has not been previously authorized by the user, resulting
in annoying delays and messages that often never get received.
Cheers,
Jerry

I can understand these rules but how will the computer know when such a
spam message shows upp? Judith

Hello!
To create a particular rule:
1. I assumed that you still have the old message of the SPAM.
2. Open the message.
3. Once it is open, press Alt + M, and look for the "Create rule from
message...."
4. There is a combo boxes which you will going to make a specific rule
for your messages.
5. Don't do any modification to the first list. Press Alt + A, to set
the commands.
6. If you want to move the message to a specified folder, choose the
first item in the lists. But, if you want to delete automatically the SPAM
message, just look for the delete message option in that lists.
7. Once you found it, just press your space bar to check it.
8. Press tab key once and press your down arrow key, to review your
rules. If the first item was selected, "Move it to the specified folder",
you need to assign a folder. Pressing enter on the selected description
will allow you to choose the folder.
9. Once you are done, press tab key once, and type "SPAM rule".
10. Tab to the ok button and hit your space bar.

Thanks Rodin, If these are advertisements why aren't they in a
language that people can read? Like I said, it wasn't English, German,
French or Spanish. I also know enough Hebrew to know that this wasn't the
language either. How do you create the rule that will delete these messages
from the inbox? Thanks, Judith

Hello Judith!
SPAMS are commercial adds from the internet. I suggest that
delete all your SPAM messages and you can create a rule which will delete
your SPAM message automatically.

I have been getting these emails that consist of a lot of
letters. If it is a foreign language that I am not familiar with please
forgive me but to the best of my knowledge it is not German, French or
Spanish. So far today I have blocked at least three senders. Is anyone
else having these problems? I have no clue as to where these spams are
originating. Thanks, Judith
