Does anyone know if/how the Junk Mail filter in Outlook 2003 can be
completely and permanently disabled. We run a subscribed anti-spam service
at mail server level and the client filter is creating false positives all
the time and causing much unrest amongst my users!

I've tried setting the filter to no automatic filtering, but this doesn't
seem to stop things redirecting to the junk mail (backup notifications
originating from backup exec are consistently hitting the junk mail folder
despite having been added to all safe sender and recipient lists).

This trivial issue is driving me nuts!!! Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark.

Actions > Junk E-Mail > Junk Email Options > choose level of filtering, and
ensure there are no blocked senders, seems one way of doing it.

Sadly, that was were I started (to no avail). I've selected no auto
filtering and ensured that the bad sender list is completely empty, but
Outlook can't seem to keep it's sticky little fingers out of my inbox!

Thanks anyway,

M.

I'm not convinced there's any way to turn it off completely.
