I'm getting more and more spam, but Outlook filtering is either too
restrictive or not restrictive enough.
Gmail has filter capability by words in the message. Like, Viagra, Rolex,
Stocks & bonds. It's a great idea.
Suggest Outlook provide similar service.

It does - it's called create your own rules. But it's not a good way to
filter spam because spammers use creative spelling "v 1 a Gr a" and "v1 ag
ra" - you'd spend all day fixing the rules for each creative new way to
spell you favorite drug. Get a real spam filter that uses Bayesian
techniques - set it and forget it.

BTW - what version are you using? Outlook 2003's spam filter is pretty good.
If you aren't using it set on high, you should.
