Can I Use VBA to filter Incoming Mails?

[Cat]

Microsoft Outlook does provides spam filtering feature.
But I think it just provides basic functionalities,
and not adequate to filter today's sophisticated spams.
For example, I receive the same type spams over and over
again but there's no way to block it with Outlook's filter.
Those spams are...
Type 1) With no title, no sender
- No option for "black subject"
Type 2) One single add image linked external URL
- No option for filtering HTML source
Type 3) Mails with meaningless strings in subject or body
Like "Reocument xewxzqiewi
Type 4) Mails that contains specific extensioned attachments.
For example, .pif .scr

Can I use VBA to filter these spams? I know the visual Basic
language a little bit, but I don't know where to get started.
Can you give me any simple baci exmaple code from which I can
develop my own? Thank you for your advice in advance.
And woe to the spammers.

Yes, it would be possible to write code for this, but largely a waste of time unless you're interested in using it as an exercise to learn Outlook VBA, given that there are free or very low cost spam filters that do the same thing (see http://www.slipstick.com/rules/junkmail.htm#tools)
