Spam Filter question

[Polly the Parrot]

Outlook 2003 Win XPPro SP 3, no Exchange Server

Getting spam (mainly about Viagra) with the senders address munged to be the
same as mine.

I understand that the Spam filters on Outlook 2003 only work on sender's
addy, or do I have this wrong?

Anyway I can filter on subject (apart from the other filters built into
Outlook)?

You can create a filter for that word and set it to delete the mail. Also,
make sure you don't have a contact created for yourself - if you do and have
enabled the option to trust mail from addresses in your address book, your
address is trusted and outlook will not run the junk filter on it.

This is wrong. Outlook 2003 and above consider more that just the sender's
address.

Thanks Brian and Diane.
