Introduction

Managing Spam with a POP3 account in Outlook 2003 can be done in a number of ways that can include responding to headers added at the server in addition to using Outlooks built in Junk Mail processor. Both techniques are presented here and tied together with "Rules" which facilitate moving the messages and setup of "archiving" to automatically delete old Spam. This tutorial is meant to serve as an example - individual users can customize the setup to reflect their individual requirements.

Adding a rule to move the mail

Adding a rule like this depends on server side Spam filtering to add the header text we will search for. Ensure you have either turned on this feature yourself or requested your account manager to enable it for you prior to attempting this process.

Use the menu "Tools => Rules and Alerts".
