Adult content not being sent to Junk folder

[Guest]

Hello,
The last couple of days Outlook (2003) is not processing adult content email
to the Junk Folder. I have tried to reinstall the last Junk Email Update but
it won't install because it says I already have the current update. Any
suggestions would much appreciated.

Do you have any other rules running that may be moving the items back out of
the Junk folder?

I have other rules but they have been in place for a while. I have two users
on my laptop, one for work and they other for home. I use Outlook (2003) for
both users. While I am at work I have Outllook check 3 emails, 2 I use for
work and the third is my personal account which I have setup to leave a copy
on the server. At home I just have Outlook check my personal account and it
still moves the Junk Email to the Junk Email folder. The same exact email
that is retrieved at work simply goes to my Personal Inbox. Can the Junk
Email files be corupt for my work user? Also I ran a Adaware scan while I was
at work and this seems to have been about the time I noticed the Junk Email
not working. Thanks for responding!

I use AdAware and it hasn't had any effect on my Outlook junk mail feature.
Check the Junk Mail settings both at home and at work and make sure they're
exactly the same in both places -- also look at your Safe Senders and Blocked
Senders lists in both places and see if you haven't inadvertently added some
senders to safe or blocked that shouldn't be there.

Jocelyn,
Thanks for your help! As soon as I read your last message I remembered I had
imported a block senders list I found on the web. I removed this list and all
is well. I am a little confused why a "blocked" senders list would allow junk
email to be reach my inbox. Thanks again!
