Adult Content

[Shannon]

Does Outlook have an internal way of filtering adult
content? I have recently received some very blatant adult
content (words that should definitely be picked up on in
the subject that I will not repeat!). I have my filter
turned on, I think. Is there any other way to stop this
garbage? I am running XP Pro with Outlook 2000 9.0.0.2711

Thank you!

First, open the Rules Wizard and make sure the Junk Senders rule is turned
on. If it is, you are already filtering as much of the adult content as
Outlook itself will filter...you can add domains or sender addresses to the
Adult Content Senders list, but of course, this may not be very effective
since the addresses change so often. You may want to consider upgrading to
Outlook 2003, which has much improved junk mail filters, or purchasing a
dedicated antispam program such as MailWasher or IHateSpam. Outlook 2000's
built-in junk filters really just can't handle the stuff we get nowadays.
